We once again are traveling in Europe again before we are finally heading back to the States for a long while! Our first stop on the way home was Geneva Switzerland. Now I have no idea why Brent and I chose to go to the most expensive place in Europe last, but we did. To be able to afford this we ended up staying in Ferny- Voltaire France. To get into Geneva we have to walk about 35 minutes, then take an incredibly rare bus and then transfer onto another bus. It is a process to say the least.
Once we got into the city we made our first stop Bastion Park.
This park is famous for two things. First, GIANT CHESS! This is at the start of the game.
Brent took the first prisoner.
But quickly realized he was no match!
It took a little persausion, but I finally overpowered the king and was crowned victor!
The other famous aspect of this park is the Reformation wall. This is a huge tribute to the leaders of the Catholic Reformation, Guillaume Farel, Jean Calvin, Theodore de Beze, and John Knox.
Brent searching the map while I stare at the pavement... At least the pavement here is pretty interesting to look at!
As we began searching for Jean Calvin's church we stumbled upon a wonderful little playground!
Charging on the wooden horse!
Brent was sore after only a few rounds.
It was an awesome beginning to the day. We had so much fun just goofing off. This tourist thing is hard, so it was nice to get such a great start to it all!

Ansen is convinced you two are at the Harry Potter park because of the giant chess game. There is no telling that boy different.
What a fun park. Braden would LOVE it.
