My aunt, uncle, and cousins live in Geneva we stayed there for about 3 days. It's beautiful during the Fall.
Their backyard looks at Mont Blanc (Monte Bianco (Italian), meaning "White Mountain"). My family and myself picked a day to go up the mountain by cable car. Two things were scaring me: whether the cables would snap
and how my body would react to being up in high altitude since I would be somewhere around 12,000-14,000 in altitude (and I haven't been up that high before). Went all the way to the top and my body responded okay.
Off to Italy a 1 1/2 day at a Bed & Breakfast. We also went on a boat ride in Lake Como (Lago di Como in Italian).
We went back to my aunt's place for a couple days. No pics here.
Off to France (pics here
)
This is the fun part. The whole idea of the vacation was because of my grandparent's anniversary (they're Scottish, my mom's English). We stayed at a large house. 10 rooms I think for 24 (?) people. Family from English, Scotland, Switzerland, and us from the states came together for a week.
