Jims had to work for the day in Geneva last Friday so we decided to join him. It was a 3 hour train ride heading southwest of Zurich. Geneva is on the French part of Switzerland so needless to say everybody speaks French. We were welcomed by a couple of compliments to the kids; for some reason they like seeing JP and Syd sitting in a not so common double stroller. A couple of older people stopped me at the street and said "marvelous", "what a beautiful set of twins"!. Oh well. What can I say!
We did some site seeing on Friday afternoon and all Saturday. We visited the Red Cross museum, The Saint-Pierre Cathedral, the Parc the Bastions, the Ile Rousseau, the Bourg-de-Four place (among others), and we couldn’t visit the inside of the UN building since is close on weekends during the winter. On the train ride back, the kids had the family wagon pretty much for them selves. This particular wagon has a slide, monkey bars, and other attractions with dinosaur forms; even Jim had a chance to work for a little bit.On Sunday we went sledging for the first time in JP’s, Syd’s and my life as well (Jim did it before back in NY). It was totally wicked! We went to Filzbach, located 75 Km south of Zurich. This place is well known as a sledding paradise since it has 7.5 Km sledging run. JP absolutely loved it, however Syd had a hard time since for a period of time Jim used her as a human shield (in order to turn, you have to use your feet and that gets the snow of the ground and since Jim was going so fast…). Any way, we loved it and we are going for another sledging session this weekend.
