Today (6/18) we spent the day in Geneva visiting our old haunts, including our old flat w/ one of Voltaire's homes behind it, our favorite park w/a cabled spider web (recalling memories of a front flip that shaved the skin off the upper inside of my left leg 9 years ago); the first slide h ever went down by herself; the steep path I used to walk/run everyday (w/ h in the jogger -tough momma).
We then walked to Old Town Geneve where the fete de la Musique was. LOVE that fete. We walked through the Reformers Park - a fabulous tribute to those bold men, strolled through Old Town and hit a cool toy store - again a memory from our previous stay.

One our way back to the car, we crossed a pedestrian only bridge (over the Rhone river). Hannah commented that it looked like a "Lover's Bridge". "What do you mean" I asked. "It looks like a bridge where people would come in the middle of the night to kiss." xxx
M3:
h - "seeing the couple kissing soooo dramatically (passionately?); running around the lake in Divonne w/ mom - planning to 'train' to impress Daddy by the end of summer" (she did 4 hanging pull-ups yesterday -w/o too much effort!!!!)
R - he fell asleep before I could ask him, though he claims Geneva is 'boring' through fits of giggles and hysterical playground play. He was intrigued by boys at a park playing basketball w/ soccer balls. He's also fascinated by the graffiti art found all over.
T - "After R found his 1 Chf coin in a puddle he spent the rest of the day looking in puddles and gutters for more. And when I carried him on my shoulders he asked me to walk closer to the puddles so he could look down in the puddle for more Chf."
H - "I suppose my M3 is my running commentary in each post."
