Exhausting Saturday

We got up a bit late this morning, rushed to have breakfast (there were croissants!) and decided we would head into town. We went back to the room, Matt took a short nap, we both read a bit, and then we got ready and headed out. We walked around and made our way down to Geneva and went to the train station to look inside H&M (they have so many man-scarves, it is unreal) and then decided we were hungry and took a very roundabout way to Rue de Lausanne. We found a little restaurant, Ze do Pipo, which specializes in Portugese food. We sat down, ordered 3 dl of wine to split (seriously, it is cheaper than water. Also, I love this picking the size of the carafe of wine. 3dl = 2 small glasses). Matt had the poisson du jour which was a butter poached perch and I had the piri piri chicken. We had our salads, ate our entrees, then split a chocolate mousse and had coffee and tea. It was delightful to get out of the midday son and to lounge about a bit more.

Then we made our way on further, ostensibly to find the Apple store so I could get Snow Leopard. We eventually found our way there but also went by the jet to set on a bench for a bit and use the free wireless. We also wandered up and down the Rue du Rhone, which is the street with all the designer stores and jewelers. We saw the store that was robbed last week by the Pink Panthers (article here and gazed at all the lovely watches and jackets and such. Then we walked by the Lake again and went on the walkway out into the lake and sat around for a bit. Finally we walked home, stopping at the Coop on the way back for some provisions for tomorrow.

By the time we arrived, my legs were aching and I was ready for a nap. Matt entered all the places we walked into Google Maps and it made sense that I was a bit tired, since we walked almost 10 miles. I took a brief nap, we had dinner, and here we are.

We took a few photos today and I created one of those Flickr accounts that I hear are popular. I will try to add some labels at some point. Here is the link: Our Flickr.

Hope everyone has a great rest of their Saturday!
