A Stunning View Of Geneva April 5, 2010

So, for our official full day in Geneva we walked across the border to France and took a lift up a small mountain, since apparently the Monday after Easter is a holiday in Switzerland and everything is just as closed as the day before.

It was lovely, there was some snow in the shade(I kind of wished I had worn my long under wear), the sun was beaming, and there were no low clouds to intrude in our time at the park. We hiked around and walked a little ways in a subdivision on the mountain. There were some fantastic views up there of the Alps. When we were done hiking we watched the Paragliders take off. We joked that we left Switzerland, to go to France, to look across Switzerland, to look at France (Geneva is in a valley while the mountains on either side belong to France). I suppose you could also say that the best view of Geneva is in France!

So then we started to get a little bored on the walk back and decided to go snow “bowling” which was basically competitive snow chunk rolling (like you would roll a bowling ball). It was incredibly entertaining and we accidentally spooked five kittens that were sun bathing.
