Geneva

[poliphilo]

The next day - that'll be the Thursday- we went into Geneva. It was raining, the traffic was ghastly and we had trouble parking. I have mixed feelings about Geneva: on the one hand a noble tradition of free speech, on the other Calvinism- one of the most noxious, sadistic and hateful doctrines ever conceived by the mind of man. None of us enjoyed our stay. After a hurried lunch we drove along Lac Leman and found ourselves on a private road patrolled by security guards. We stopped to take pictures and a security guard approached- and asked us if we could give his vehicle a jump start.



In the evening we went to Matt's place and dropped off some stuff that Ruth had brought out from England for him.

It looks very calm and peaceful on the lake.
I had to chuckle about the security guard just needing a jump start and not caring you were on a private road.

Apart from the guard there was nobody about. All the rich people who own the lakeside properties were someplace else.

I believe George Clooney has a house in Geneva...
