Geneva

We arrived in Geneva late evening and our flight to Madrid was at 3:00PM the next day.  We knew we had to be very selective about what we saw.

First was a stroll along the lake.  It is just as beautiful as I had imagined.




Next a visit to Parc de la Grange.  Absolutely beautiful!  http://switzerland-geneva.com/attractions/parcdelagrange.html




And, of course, a look at architecture through the eyes of John Calvin.   Read about the man and St. Pierre Cathedral at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Calvin and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Pierre_Cathedral


After a quick lunch and a small chocolate purchase, we were off to the airport.  Twenty-four hours later we were at the LaQuinta just down the road from the airport in Houston, Texas. 

Our 2011 European adventure had spanned almost two months and  four countries.
