Europa!
This will be very brief and confusing because I'm paying dearly for every minute online!
Sleeping in the airport sucked, but we got through it. Marseille is a big gross city like Naples but Aiz was just perfect. Nice and low key. Very French with the little wrought iron railings. We ate out of grocery stores and the whole thing was very cheap. We took a bus to Mt. St. Victoire (the mountain that Cezanne painted so much) and hiked around on it. I got bored about half way up the mountain so I napped on a warm rock in the sun while the boys went on. Train connection to Geneva went perfectly. Met another American on the train and it was nice to talk with her for a while. Our hostel in Geneva is great. It was only about five minute walk from the train station, its impossibly clean, the staff speaks English, and we have our own room. Geneva isn't quite what I expected. Not as many mountains, or at least, the mountinas are covered by clouds or haze. Has a big city feel because of all of the huge buildings, but the population is only 178,000. Lots of banks and watch stores. Not a lot to do here, buts its beautiful. We forgot that today was good friday and the whole city is pretty much shut down. That includes grocery stores so we spent a gross amount of money at MacDonalds. Today we took a free bus to the country, discovered there was nothing to do there, took the bus back, and played life sized chess in the park. I'm the master.
The weather has been great for us. About 60 and blue skies with a little wind. I got sunburned yesterday so I'm sunscreening it for the rest of the trip.
I forgot my camera cable so I can't upload any pictures, but Frank is going to put some on his blog in a few hours.
We haven't had any fights and no disasters of money.
