First weekend outing

From Canada we bought a Eurail pass for train travel in Europe, so had to plan an outing at our first opportunity; Since I wanted a trip on Lake Geneva, because Eurail tickets include boats on the lake, a staff member suggested a day trip; First we had to get back to the Gare (railway station) by bus and metro.

 

Then we rode about half an hour to the small town of Nyon. We didn't stop that long, but I got lots of practice asking directions in French to find the boat launch;

 

 

Bongwol, a Korean who has lived in Texas for 10 years, kept telling us to pose with the scenery. We've never both been in so many of our own snapshots!  

 

We enjoyed our boat ride across the lake, despite cloudy skies and a few minutes of misty rain. Yvoire, our destination, is actually in France!  We explored the most beautiful medieval walled town. Charming old houses have been turned into little boutiques or tiny restaurants.

 

Terry and I were exausted at the end of the day!
