Today was such a quiet, uneventful, relaxing day... no matter where you travel to, you can't let yourself return home MORE tired than when you left! You need to allow for some time to just chill; Take a nap, read a book, watch a movie. It's called vacation for a reason!
Today, I did just that. I slept in rather late, wrote blog posts, and just relaxed with a cup of tea. After a little while, Mauro and I ended up going into the city center to look for some souvenirs. I bought my dad a -----, and of course had to buy some Swiss chocolate. The chances of my father actually reading this blog are slim to none (sorry dad) but I can't risk you blabber mouths telling him what I bought him!
We grabbed a quick lunch at a little cafe that Mauro said was cheap. Cheap in Geneva pays for 3 meals at McDonald's in Alabama. It's just crazy! After eating, we walked around the lake over to the famous flower clock. The artistry in the landscaping is fantastic! It's beautiful!
We went into many stores just to look around, and we tried to find the most expensive watch. Geneva is full of watch stores! I mean, they are literally everywhere! I think the highest price we found was 18,000 franc, and you get .9 CHF per dollar. Thats an expensive watch!
Once we were back at Mauro's apartment, I took a nap, we fixed some dinner and watched a movie. I know it may seem weird going all the way around the world and spending time napping, but my body is thanking me. I've been on the go, and it felt nice to just relax a bit!
(Ill add photos of the clock tomorrow, they are not transferred to tablet yet)
