Luck of the Irish

Yesterday, it was beautiful, warm and sunny in Geneva. I think I want my parents to stay because it is obvious that they are good luck. Normally, it's sunny for 2 hrs and tehn cold, cloudy, and sometimes rainy. My parents leave tomorrow and it's supposed to snow on Tuesday. Coincidence? I think not.

Yesterday we went to Parc de Bastions and had a picnic. It was so nice to be able to see people outside enjoying the weather. There were a few avid games of giant chess going on too. The kind where the chess pieces are larger than normal...hopefully you all know what I'm talking about. We walked over to reformation wall as I call it. It's a wall in the parc dedicated to the leaders of the reformation like Luther, Calvin, Cromwell etc. It has larger than life statues of all the MEN because there are no laides in Swiss history that have monuments. Interesting...

We then walked to the market. My dad found a really old scooter with a side car that he really liked. It was a huge market though, and of course everything was not at typical 'market' prices because we are in Switzerland. So, a piece of jewlery was going for 100CHF which is about 80 dollars. It was lots of fun to look though and to see all the different kinds of people that were there.

Also, last night we ate the best piece of fish I have ever eaten in my life. It was perch from Lac Leman. If anyone is ever in Nyon, definitely go to Au Cheval Blanc and get the perch. It was fresh and delicious.
