Geneva Weekend

We are just back from a weekend in Geneva. Sherman had a meeting there on Friday so we took off by train in the morning arriving in the French Swiss city 4 hours later. This is about as far as one can travel in Switzerland and still remain in the country. It is amazing how "at home" I felt hearing French again. Tho’ I have never been fluent, French is so much more familiar (than German) to my ear that it was positively relaxing to function in French for a weekend!

Once checked into our hotel we strolled through the Old Town, ate ice cream at a sidewalk café and called our friend Marie to wish her Happy Birthday! I ordered a Coupe Framboise and they had to go out to the market to fetch fresh raspberries for me so it took a few minutes. We were in no hurry and it was well worth the wait! Much later we found ourselves hungry again so stepped into a tiny neighborhood bistro, Les Agapes, for a lovely dinner of Lotte on a perfect salad with potatoes and a regional white wine.

Saturday we had perfect weather for window shopping and indulged in a boat ride on the lake. Here are some views of Geneva and Lac Le Man. More later about our 4 hour dinner with friends on Saturday night.
