I'm off to Berlin tomorrow! Slowly but surely cutting down the huge list of places I want to go. I'll be back Thursday night, so don't expect anything before Friday.

G and I ran around Geneva today, destination: Rose Garden in the Parc de la Grange. It was so gorgeous! Along the way, though, I was reminded just how rude people can be. It seems Europeans don't understand the concept of "personal space." If the sidewalk is 5 feet wide, and I'm walking on one side, will they move over to the other side? No! Of course not! They'll walk within 1 cm of me and make me move to the nonexistent space next to me. Thanks everybody.

Also, the men along the lakeside (and only along the lakeside, I haven't figured out this phenomenon) gawk and make kissy noises and constantly stop me and G to tell us how gorgeous we are and if we want to have dinner with them and so on. It makes me want to scream JUST LET ME WALK. It gave me a chance to teach G the phrase "Va te faire foutre." I don't think I'll translate that one for you guys ;-)
