Geneva, Switzerland
Geneva, our last stop before we fly back home. Our journey is almost at an end. The final drive down from Strasbourg took about 5 hours, including another drive over the alps.

Hopefully the weather will be kind to us as we head back over the alps. Saw a news report about conditions in the Austrian Alps. The day after we crossed over from Friedrichshafen, t...
