Geneva Photo Selections

I'm tired, but feel as though I should provide an update.  Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I'll dodge by  putting up some photos and save myself a ton of typing.




We took the train from Paris on Thursday, September 24th.  Because we waited until the day before to get reservations, we had only one option to get to Geneva, and that had a connection in Lyon.  The ride from Lyon to Geneva was very pretty, and the terrain began to grow considerably more rugged after the gently-rolling, pastoral Ille-de-France region near Paris.










Here we see Emily engaged in her favorite rail travel activity: sleeping on my knee (or sometimes shoulder) and occasionally being woken by me as I look at or photograph the countryside.





We came to Geneva to visit my friend Greg from Grinnell, who is hear attending graduate school.  He has a nice view from his flat that almost makes climbing the stairs worth it.






He took us out to see the Jet d'Eau, a ridiculously large fountain in Lake Geneva.  Enjoy a few pictures of that.
