... understand that the Swiss are the best

This past weekend Anna and I went to Geneva for the weekend on the train. It was an intense ride seeing how it was over 90 degrees and there was no AC... yeah all you US people think you've got it bad well at least you have AC and drinks with ice, because we don' t. We got in Friday night and after checking in to the hotel went and had possibly the best dinner I have had since I left the US, we sat outside, in a breeze (very important), and had a wonderful time. The next day we went and saw the United Nations building the Palace des Nations and then walked through the botanic gardens and then walked towards the town along lake Geneva. We went on a boat tour of lake Geneva and saw all the sights such as: the mermaid of Lake Geneva, the house where FDR and Eisenhower stayed, Josephine Bonaparte's house and of course the famous spire of lake Geneva, the fountain that shoots water extremely high in the sky. After our boat tour we went on a trolley tour of the city and saw: the reformation wall, the oldest church in Geneva, the Opera and other amazing sights. All in all it was a great trip and you would think that all we would have to do was get on the train back to Paris right? Well you would be right except somehow we didn't do that... we got on the train in Geneva that was leaving at the EXACT time as on our ticket and said it was going to Gare de Lyon, well that is one of the train stations in Paris and the one we left from so we hopped on and I feel asleep. I wake up an hour later to Anna yelling "Katherine everyone is getting off! The train is stopping here!" Well obviously we are not in Paris so we look outside and where are we... LYON. FRANCE. Yeah the Gare de Lyon in Lyon. So we freaked out and ran out on the platform trying to desperately explain what we did and what happened to a platform attendant and he told us to get on this other train right next to ours because it was going to Paris. So we jumped on and not one minute later does it depart, I kid you not. So we are trying to find empty seats because of course our assigned seats are on another train and we find two in the last car, in the last row. Adventure? I think so!
