Greetings from Geneva (Thoiry)






I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Thoiry which is actually in France since the hotels in Geneva are crazy expensive ($600/night versus $150). The hotel is at the foot of the Jura mountains (pictures 1 and 2). I was going to go for a hike but then realized I hate hiking. The other neat thing about this location is that I pass CERN (pictures 3 and 4) on the way to and from Geneva. You can find more info re: Cern here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cern
Last, even $3 gas in the US is still cheaper than in Europe. It is 1.2 euro per liter which is about $6 a gallon.

Yeah that first picture is scary. Looks like the Tramp from 'Lady and the Tramp' in the cloud.
