Land of the Neutral

The first thing I saw when I got off the plane in Geneva, was a giant billboard of George Clooney pushing an espresso machine......welcome to Europe!!

Today was all about Pablo giving us a tour of Geneva: the streets, the plazas, the cafes, his favorite chicken joint....yes, the boy eats a lot of Swiss chicken....and by swiss chicken I don't mean chicken with a bunch of holes in it, but their version of El Pollo Loco. I got to say, it was good....different, but good.

We went for a stroll down to the lake, saw the shops (and by shops I mean the innumerable amount of watch stores) and ended up by the water, where we had a beer at a place that very closely resembles the waterfront in Georgetown...except there weren't any drunk idiots jumping into the fountains.

The highlight of the day was eating at this tiny little cafe that served crepes....had a Heineken with some sort of syrup (which was ordered by mistake...I should have taken french in high school instead of spanish!) which turned out to be pretty good and some crepes with lemon sorbet and raspberry syrup...very nice!!

Big day tomorrow...the journey begins. First stop, Dijon. Anyone have any suggestions? (I've already thought of asking the car next to us if they had any Grey Poupon....or just mustard since we were in Dijon anyways). After we spend the day there it's off to Paris in the afternoon.



Let's Gooo!!!





Grand Theatre









Isn't this Mr. Bean's car?






Good Night
