Geneva

(Kels typing and Jay in the peanut gallery!)

Today we went on our first day trip to Geneva, or as they say in French "Geneve".  We were able to drive with Sebastian, Jay's teammate and his lady friend along the lake with a stop in Montreux.  This also is a beautiful city and I, Kelsey, decided that when my mom and dad visit they will need to stay here it is BEAUTIFUL!  Montreux is the home of the world famous jazz festival and the most frequented tourist city in all of Switzerland.  (side note:  the song "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple was written here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jp3de50_d8 )  A MUST see for all who come to visit us and only about 10 min away!  

In Geneve we were able to walk around and see much of the city but we can tell that in order to take this all in we will need to visit a few more times.  We walked most of the time lakeside and lucky me we ran into the shopping district!  Don't worry Margaret we found where you can buy your Rolex!  I bought a shirt at Zara, a favorite shopping place of my roommates when they were in Spain...and also saw many things that were WAY too expensive to buy!

We had lunch with about 12 dozen pigeons and one even did its "business" on our table.  Note we were sitting inside!  After lunch we walked around to find a garden that we saw on the map and that is what you see in the picture.  We toured the city until about seven o'clock and saw a lot of neat things that would be worth coming back to see again.  We also missed seeing some things like the UN museum that we can catch on another trip here.  But overall it was a great day of "Seeing the world together."  But only the beginning of our adventures!!

By the way... My lovely fiancee Jay was the genius who figured out how to post the pictures.  And I will get to see Jay play for the first time tomorrow, stay tuned for recap according to Kelsey!!
