Arrived in Switzerland!

It is only the first day and there are already crazy stories to tell!

I arrived in Geneva, Switzerland at 9:00 AM this morning and took the 45 minute train to Lausanne. I was putting pictures on my computer and enjoying the scenery. I must have fallen asleep for only a few minutes and when I woke up I looked out the train window which said Lausanne. I quickly grabbed my things and got off the train. No more than 30 seconds after getting off, the train left. That was a close call!!

Outside of the train station, I was taking pictures and an older lady with a cane starts to cross the street. You could tell that she was having a hard time with the last step. So I took her arm and helped her onto the sidewalk. She said something to me in French which I believe was "thank you."

I walked from the train station to the Hotel Bellerive. My room overlooks Lake Geneva and the Swiss Alps. It is beautiful. Most of the shops are closed today because it is Sunday.

Hope everyone is great! Keep checking in for new posts and pictures!
