This past Friday I descided that it was finally time for me to go and see some of Geneva since I've been here for so long and hadn't seen much of it at all besides the Jet d'eau when I was here last summer. Mac, Olivier (Mac's brother) and Greg descided that it would be fun to go to the Natural Science Museum first, and then after see some of the old town of Geneva.
The Natural Science Museum was really neat. It was basically like the nature part of the ROM but multiplied by 4-5 times in size. We saw lots of animals that you wouldn't be able to see at a zoo either because they are so exotic, or very endangered.
After we went to the old town, which was really nice. It reminded me of Paris a little except that it was much quieter with not very many people or tourists around. There will be pics of all this in my next blog, as my computer is not working at the moment and I need it to upload the pics.
The last few days in France were spent chilling at Mac's house. We set up a tent in his huge field beside his house and did hot dogs and marshmellows over the camp fire. I introduced smores to Olivier and his friend Fabio. They looked at me like I was crazy when I told them what it was, but then Mac assured them that it was genious and completely delicious.
One thing I will never eat the North American way again is hot dogs. In France, they take a baguette and shove the hotdog with ketchup in a hole through the middle. It's absolutely amazing.
We had tones of thunder storms the last few days as well, but that didn't stop mac and I from sleeping outside in the tent. It was a really relaxing chill time.
Now I'm home in Toronto! I had a kinda not so cool flight home with lots of turbulance and severe thunderstorms, but I'm home safe and sound now, and thats all that matters.
Mac will be joining me in Toronto on Tuesday and he'll be staying here with me untill the 22 of August. We're taking a TESL course together which takes place all saturdays and sundays of July till the 23rd. I'm hoping to be able to see everyone from Toronto this summer, but it's not that big a deal if I don't because I'm going to be going to York Glendon starting in September! So if your not around this summer, I can still see you after! Well, thats all for now. Happy Canada day!
