-we woke up at about 5 o clock and got ready
- Tom drove us to Geneva and Alicia and mag slept in the car most of the way
- Tom gave us the keys to his apartment room and told us exactly what we should see in Geneva and how to get to the train and stuff
- when Tom left we took a two hour nap in the room
- we woke up still pretty tired
- we freshened up and headed out to walk around Geneva
- everything in Geneva looks like it should be in Geneva, so classy
-we had lunch along the lake with a lovely view of sail boats and children playing in this awesome jungle gym!
- we had tomato mozzarella tuna paninis and Alicia had iced tea which she has really grown to like
- the lady who gave us our food thought we were from England! Coooool!!!!
-mags dress kept on blowing up because it was so windy so she had to hold it down while she walked haha!
- we walked along the lake and passed lots of ice cream shops and a man feeding swans
-we walked to the train/bus station so that we could make sure we knew where to go tomorrow
- after we stopped a the tourist office to get a map of the city
- we really wanted to see this famous fountain in Geneva but according to the map, we should have walked right by it already, so our search continued
- we went back along the lake, still no fountain
- we explored Geneva and went into some boutiques as well as some souvenir shops
- Tanya desperately tried to think of something to get her dad, and mag and al helped her brainstorm. Chip is just too darn practical!
- we walked past a fountain that was not the one we were looking for, but we took cheesy tourist pictures of Alicia wearing a Switzerland hat, and of tan and mag looking embarrassed to be with her
-we walked into a little chocolate shop and eat bought some Swiss chocolate to satisfy our sweet tooths, ad after that we got ice cream!
- we asked the people at the ice cream place about the mysterious fountain and the said it was off for the day because it is so windy!! Nooo!!!
-We walked along the water some more and pondered on the thought of renting a paddle boat
- we sat on a dock and took some really terrible pictures on Maggie iPhone
-Alicia saw a duck dive deep under the water!
-We walked back to Toms apartment room where we relaxed for a while, looked at pictures, and Alicia took a shower
-Alicia wants to get an electric water heater for tea!
- after the shower we walked all the way back into the old town to find the pizza place that Tom told us about
- we found the pizza place and we were SO PROUD, but it was closed:(
-so we went to a different pizza place nearby
-we all ate tasty little mini pizzas
-a strange dorky looking man sat in the booth behind us alone and it freaked us out so we had a very funny conversation at the table giving lots of details about our lives in Connecticut where our names are Zooey, Anna, and Aly and we are on vacation with our parents and are very excited for our 16th birthdays where we hope our parents will get us cars:) haha
- we didn't feel terribly threatened but it was fun to make up a fake life lol
- after dinner we booked it out of there and began walking back to the apartment
-it was dark but the streets were pretty populated which was good
- the best part walking home was that we saw the fountain had turned on! Yayyy!!!!! It was lit up green too!!!
- a group of young women stopped is in the street ad asked us if we knew where there were "cool restaurants" haha, we think they thought we were real locals!
-we walked all the way back to Toms safely and promptly went to bed!
