Geneva.

Geneva c'est bonne. Cheese, chocolate, wine, clocks, and snow capped mountains... everything that one thinks of when thinking Swiss - we experienced. Cheese fondue - Yum.

Geneva was well decked out for the Christmas. On Sunday, we took the train about an hour and change north to Montreux -

The famous fountain in Geneva - stretched over 450 feet high - water rushes out at 125mph. (I read the back of a pamphlet)

Longhorns? Is that what you call them?

The Escalade festival that took place in Geneva all weekend. I leave you a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Escalade

So, how was Geneva? Where did you go for fondue? A tourist trap or somewhere good?

Did you try the Swiss wine or a Raclette?

Ah but the Fountains at the Bellagio in Vegas are just as impressive and there are about a thousand of them there!
