Landed safely and somehow found my way to a little hotel run by the Salvation Army. It is clean and small in the European way and I have started exploring. An awful lot in Geneva seems dedicated to the Reformation, especially in the old city. There is a lot of "John Calvin was here." I did manage to find a lovely creperie in the shadow of Geveva's 'Uncle Peter church" aka the Cathedral of St. Pierre.
Lunch is a buckwheat crep avec jambon, gruyere and mushrooms. It is served like a pizza. I can hear the church bells and carillons playing on the hour. There are actually a couple of concerts this weekend which might be worth checking out.
As for the cleanliness, the contrast is not quite as great as all those years ago but I did snap a picture of a series of recycle bins, in a public park and all the correct materials were in the correct bins. Green class from white, papers separate. Don 't see us Americans getting there any time soon!
That's is so cool you are in Geneva now. Take lots of pictures!
