We started our travels in the cosmopolitan city of Geneva, Switzerland. |

|
 |
|
| A view of the Place du Bourge-de-Four's restaurants and merry-go-round. We had lunch at the place on the left -- one our first meals outside this year! |

 |
 |
 |
|
| A view from one of the towers of the Cathédrale St. Pierre. This view shows the harbor and Jet d'Eau, a powerful fountain. |
|
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
| The part-Romanesque, part-Gothic Cathédrale St. Pierre, where John Calvin preached from 1536 to 1564. One of the largest archeological digs in Europe is found beneath the church. |
|
| One of the harbors of Lake Geneva, with the Jet d'Eau on the left and the mountains on the right. The jet shoots water with incredible force (200 km/h, 1360 horsepower) to create a 140m (475 ft) high plume. |

 |
 |
 |
|
| Geneva by night: a view across the shore of Lake Geneva (or Lac Léman as it's known to the locals) of the "skyline" of Geneva with the Cathédrale St. Pierre on the left. |
|
| A view into the courtyard of Alabama Hall of the Hôtel de Ville, where the Geneva Convention was signed in 1864 by 16 countries. |
