day one

Kudos to Air France...lots of food, blankets, pillows, and a personal TV. AND their seats had those little head rests that fold over so that your head does not flop around like a fish while you try to sleep. However, I was lucky enough to sit in front of the one man on the plane who did not wish to sleep, but instead play with his interactive television screen the entire flight...pushing and proding my seat. I was in and out of sleep the entire flight, which makes for one cranky Rachel the first day in Geneva.

The city is beautiful. Expensive. And it seems like you may do whatever you please. If I spoke French, things would be a lot easier and probably cheaper ha ha.

Our hostel room is "cozy" a.k.a small. But its doable and I cannot complain so far. We have a terrace to go out to which is lovely.

We tried to adventure after our group walking tour of the lake/drinks by the waterfront. We were hindered by the fact that we were EXHAUSTED and found ourselves in downtown red light district. Fun sights to say the least.

Must be up and made beautiful by 8:45 tomorrow for a meeting with the Small Arms Survey...Hooray!
