St. Pierre Cathedral: The Outside


This is a big cathedral that lies in Old Town Geneva. It is at the top of a hill, so easily seen from many places in the city. It is best known as the adopted home church of John Calvin, one of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation.

Le Refuge de Florimont


My friend, Rachel, came to visit for a week last month. We had a whirlwind time with her trying to pack as much as possible into a short time. One of the meals we had was at this restaurant up in the Jura. When the view is clear, you can see Mont Blanc. Unfortunately, it was not on this evening. We still had amazing food including Raclette and Tartiflette (or Gexiflette with the local cheese).

Eating out in Freiburg, Germany


They make their own beer.



Ahhh, Wiener Schnitzel. Yum!



Probably another stag party.
