Geneneve, Swisserland
Passing road signs for Milan…Turino…Geneve…We decided to stop in Geneva, Switzerland. (before I forget, I love the bokeh in the first picture. That lens usually butchers out-of-focus items, but it did well in that picture.). We pulled up to the border and walked into the customs office only to get blank stares when we asked what we were supposed to do. Or if we could get stamps in our passports. They gave a “stupid tourists it’s the EU just drive in” response in a polite way, and we rolled into town. Keeping the stupid tourists theme rolling, Esther the vegetarian and I the no-beef eater settled on La Boucherie, ignoring the big cow logo on the sign. I got back from using the bathroom with an impressive automatic hand washing station when she broke the news to me that we were at a steakhouse.
Ultra-thin models are a real problem in Europe.
Next up is the Alps!

You got some wonderful shots. Impressive!
I should add – that first shot was hers. =)
With friends like you, I may never need to leave home. I can just look at your pictures to know what the outside world looks like
P.S. My mom would love that last shot…mmm…purple
Look at your fancy wine pinky raise. Nice touch

I’m pretty jazzed about that. Have you been there? I’m guessing you’ve been to Portland (that’s where Esther’s from, right?)– like it? I’ve never been beyond Wisconsin, so no, this is all new. And I’m looking at midFeb to move. *singing* Exciiiiiiited!
per our conversation regarding having a quota of comments or eprops to meet until the next post. One step closer to the Alps!
ah yes…we can travel the world vicariously through you! the pictures of esther are cute. the reflection of the lights on the water is pretty cool. on your next trip, you need to do the videoblogging. that was fun.
I had no idea my picture taking skills were so impressive.
