The rest of my time in Geneva was awesome - Connie was an excellent hostess and definitely picked the best of sights for me to see. We ended up spending a day exploring a couple small towns surrounding Lake Geneva - Nyon (a Swiss village) and Yvoire (a French medieval town). They were both lovely. I also ate reeeally well in Geneva (thanks Connie!). Anyways, I decided that I really love Switzerland (maybe favourite country yet?) and if I had to pick a place to live in, that might be it.

Nice is really busy, really touristy, but it's been fun. I'm looking forward to checking out Marseille and Avignon tomorrow, and then venturing forth to Spain. But for now, it's nice being able to speak the language again (though I had gotten pretty good at miming).
A couple other notes:
I finished Harry Potter and would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. Read it... do it.
Yes, I was offered a teaching job in Quebec for next year, and no, I did not take it. Alot of reasons why, mostly the location, and also the fact that I'm just not ready to pack up and leave.
I FINALLY found people on the beach today that play ultimate! I tossed a disc and it felt amazing.
It's scary when you can count the exact number of days you have left on a trip... I come home in 11 days!

You packed your disc? Incredible! Or, did you run into people who had a disc? The nice thing about ultimate is that you can play it anywhere almost and at anytime. That must have helped you feel right at home. I envy your adventure but listening to you talk about the heat, I am glad you (sun worshipper) are there and I'm not. See you in 11 days!!! Love and hugs.
No quebec eh? Kick around the wet coast for another year? I'm happy to hear you'll be around. And can't wait to hear about your trip when I get back!
