A-ma-zing day. We went to Nyon, the town right next to Gland where my parents live, and took a boat across Lake Geneva to see France for a couple hours. That is the day summed up. The end.
Just kidding I'll talk about Nyon first. I talked about the city some in my last post. On day 4 we walked around a good bit, and it's very hilly but has fun houses that are high and right next to each other. Semi-related note: people in Switzerland are not afraid to eat right next to strangers. Por ejemplo: in Lucerne I saw a couple of friends sitting at the same medium-sized table as a group of four friends. It's fun because they don't know each other, but whatever why not sit next to each other. I want to sit next to someone in a coffee shop when the rest of the place is empty. Just a heads up if you find yourself in an empty coffee shop.
Back to Nyon. We walked around some then got on the boat across Lake Geneva to see France. I re-enacted the scene from Titanic where Leonardo stands in front of the ship and Celine Dion is singing her song. See above. The boat ride was fun.
France was similar to Switzerland, but had a slightly different feel to it that I can't really explain. We stopped at a restaurant that had CREPES (ya know, the little pancakes). I had an egg + ham + cheese crepe, then shared a Nutella crepe with my Mom. I could eat one Nutella crepe a day they're so good.
We got back on the boat back to Nyon, and then hopped on the mini-train tour. I felt like I was on those trains you see in amusement parks that kids are on (where you secretly want to be on them too, or at least I did). It was awesome. Trying to think of interesting tidbits I learned from the tour... zero, I don't remember any sorry. I should have just typed "it was cool" :-P Wait we did pass a school that had been there forever. Yep.
I think we played Euchre that night. My Mom and I teamed up against Tamara and Shelly. Love that game.
And........... that sums it up. Next up: visit to Lucerne, days 5-7.
