The sun was still rising when I set off to explore Geneva.

Outside the Geneva train station.

Saturday market

Parc de la Grange

Lac Léman (Lake Geneva)

26 décembre 2008, Peaugres to Genève

FRIDAY

There was a little bit of snow on the rooftops when I woke up this morning in Peaugres.

The drive from Peaugres to the train station in Le Péage-de-Roussillon.

Walking through customs once I arrived at the Geneva train station.

I checked in at the hostel, then took a short walk around Genève. I found some food for dinner at Manor, which is a grocery and department store.

I went to Christmas mass at the church in Peaugres. There was a lot of singing and all the children sat up front near the manger. Some of the children carried real baby goats in which to place in the manger.

I went to Auchan this evening to get the odds and ends before I left and it was pretty busy.

SUNDAY

Becky and I took the bus, C1, into town

(there are two buses that makes "circles" around Montluçon, the C1- counter clockwise and the C2- clockwise; there are seven other bus routes that make up the Montluçonnais bus system)

Once arriving in centre-ville I was surprised to see how bustling Montluçon was for a Sunday or any day for that matter. It was wonderful to feel the Christmas and holiday spirit while walking about.
