We came to Geneva for one reason and one reason only, to visit Cern. For those of you not familiar with the Hadron collider or the Higss boson particle, I suggest you click on the links to read about them and prepare to have your mind blown! This was on Peter’s bucket list and it was the 60th anniversary of Cern. I have to admit, it was pretty fun to geek out for a little bit.

There was finally a bit of a clear day and we took a walk around the Botanical Gardens. It’s great to have something like this in the middle of a city.

We happen to be staying in a great part of town right on Lake Geneva at Hotel Bristol  We have been taking a little walk everyday and watching the ducks and the geese fight to swim upstream. I assure you, this is more entertaining than it sounds.

Finally, as a kick off to my world tour really starting and vacation ending, we had a delightful dinner of cheese fondue and steak fondue at a place called Auberge de Saviese.  The atmosphere was very cute and the food was delicious!
