Prague, Munich, Geneva.....
I'm in Geneva right now, after a whirlwind 16 hours spent in Munich. Prague went well. If you're ever in Central Europe, I would recommend it pretty strongly. I don't know, it's just a very pretty city, and it's a good place to walk around. I spent most of the day with Hilary, which was fun. Much of yesterday was spent getting from Prague to Munich, which means a 6 hour train ride. Upon arrival at our hostel, we headed out to check out the city. Being Christmas, there was a big Christmas market going on, which meant that I purchased a bratwurst in Germany. After that, we headed over the Hofbrauhaus, which is a big beer hall. Details aren't really that important, but it involved a bunch of Germans at the table next to us, one of whom didn't even speak German, but Bavarian, a fair quantity of Munich's famous beer, pretzels, a bunch of men in lederhosen playing brass instruments, and an ill feeling in the morning. I guess if you want the non G-rated version, e-mail or something. Anyways, I'm in Geneva now. I have to be frank, Geneva is not impressing me whatsoever. It just feels very blah, and does not have the atmosphere or charm of Prague or Munich, much less Chamonix. You think Switzerland, and images are conjured up of grand moutains and quaint towns. Geneva just has not met these criteria yet. I'm sure I'll survive though. If it's open tomorrow, I may head out to the International Olympic Museum in nearby Lausanne, which would be really cool. It's good to have someplace to settle down for Christmas though. Tonight, we ate at McDonald's, pretty much out of laziness. I had something called a Ciabatta Grande avec fromage, and I wouldn't recommend it. I feel sort of ill because of it, I'm fairly certain. I really don't have much else to say right now. So, everyone have a very merry Christmas!
