straypig ~ interesting. I was in Geneva when I was 14 en route to Zermatt and then Saas Fee for a 2 week mountaineering/hiking trip with my Dad. That must have been 1973. I rememebr my Dad shopping for a watch for my Mom in Geneva. She still has it! I also remember having Steak and French Fries (French style in gravy). Oh and fondue ... yum. It was summer time and we only saw snow in the mountains. post some pics of your commute sometime!
I guess Massachusetts looks like Vermont today, well, except that VT hasn't gotten much snow this year! hahaha
