Have you ever been to Geneva, Switzerland? Do you want to go? During this weekend, for Thanksgiving break, I went to Geneva Switzerland. And it was super cool.

Sites

I got to go to the U.N. (united nations), CERN (discovers science), Nations (all of the flags in the united nations), The Red Cross and Red Cresent museum, and Old Town (Geneva in the 1200s). When I was at the U.N. I got to go on a tour. Our tour guide was explaining what the U.N. is and what they try to do. I was a little confused. When I was at CERN our tour guide explained what they do. I learned that at CERN they blow up particles and try to observe new ones. When I was at Nations we didn’t go in but I saw all of the flags of the United Nations. At the Red Cross and Red Crescent museum we got to go and hear about what the Red Cross and Red Crescent do and their goals. To get to the old town we had to hike up a big hill. The old town was Geneva, but in the 1200s.

Foods

I didn’t have a normal thanksgiving. I didn’t have the normal food that we would eat, but I did have some yummy foods and treats. From Tuesday to Sunday I didn’t really have a lunch. I had a burger one day, a dark chocolate crepe, and the rest of the time I forget what I had. For dinner I  had Italian food and entrecote steak. But vest of all, for dessert I got chocolate macaroons.

Public Transportation

Since we didn’t rent a car, we had to take the public transportation. In Geneva they have buses and trams. Trams are pretty much buses and trains. They look like a bus, but they go on tracks and are connected to wires. They have certain schedules. Sometimes I got bored when we had to wait for the buses and trams because we sometimes have to wait a long time for them to come.

The Jet and Mountains

There are some gorgeous sites from Geneva including the jet and mountains. the jet is pretty much a big water sprout that is in the lake. The mountains that surround Geneva are The Alps and The Jura. The tallest mountain that surrounds Geneva is Mount-Blanc. Mount-Blanc is 15,777′ tall. All of the mountains are gorgeous. I think that these two sights are beautiful and if you ever go to Geneva I encourage you to look at the jet and the mountains.
