I love trains!

I'm officially in Switzerland! The train ride from Lyon was gorgeous, all sweeping hillsides and so many trees! I've missed trees being in the city so much. I mean they have trees in cities, but not like this:

Tomorrow we are going to do our walk and explore Geneva! I like it so far, it's just as clean and beautiful as everyone says (except the un-free wi-fi is pretty lame. And food is ridiculously expensive)

So our last day in France was yesterday, it was kind of sad. But it was a really fun day. We had to do our Lyon walk and explore the city so we just made a day of it and stopped whenever. We saw the two rivers, Le Rhone and La Saone, the Hotel de Ville, Opera and a really cool fountain designed by the same guy who did the Statue of Liberty. It has four horses with steam coming out of their noses representing the four rivers of France. 

There was a huge professional petanque game going on

We had sushi for lunch! It was such a nice change from bread and cheese

A statue representing Le Rhone and La Saone as humans-an old man and young woman

We found this empty niche missing its statue and had fun taking pictures

We finished off the day with (can you guess?) bread, cheese and ham for dinner (plus some fruit). It's cheap (an entire baguette is 71 centimes) and filling and on every corner. We added some grape juice as our "wine" and ate down by the river to celebrate our last night in France haha. It ended up being really fun, and was a great goodbye to France. Hopefully Switzerland's outdoor stuff is as good as everyone says.

P.S. I get to see my family in 3 days!
