Geneva/Paris update - life update still to come

We arrived in Geneva yesterday after a 9 hour flight... with no movies. Oh, technology, how you failed us! However, it made me realize how addicted we've become to having entertainment right at our fingertips all the time. It's sad, the airlines even offered to rebook us for free because they knew they couldn't pacify us with TV's. In the end it was not bad though, it pretty much forced me to read and do Sudoku... yes, almost actually use my brain.

After we got here we walked around the city scouting out the places we would be taking the group later on in the trip... Geneva is a great city, however, I do not recommend walking around it after over 24 hours without sleep... during which you never actually saw the sun go down.

I was so happy to see the hotel bed when we finally got there! I had been having visions of it all day. In my daydreams, it looked like the white fluffy beds in Lord of the Rings during that slightly awkward scene, after Frodo has almost died and everybody comes and jumps on the bed with him... The reality was not quite so dramatic, but wonderful none the less. We finally crashed about 7 pm (Europe time), 31 hours after leaving our apartment in Dallas. Belle!
