Is pretty much what my boss said on my first week of work in London. I thought moving to London was going to be a big "first." Week two at work and I'm heading to Geneva, Switzerland.

Coming in over Lake Geneva

First time in Continental Europe. First time to Switzerland. First chance to search for that Swiss chocolate. mmm...

One of the largest fountains in the world, The Jet d'Eau sits at the point where Lake Geneva empties into the Rhône. It was a bit windy, luckily not in our direction. 

Both Chris and I have flown out of the UK for work -- I've been to Geneva, Switzerland twice now and it's beautiful and full of old gold, watches and snooty rich people. But who is to say Chicago isn't full of that. Amazing food and beautiful landscape though! Chris has been on a day trip to Madrid and lead one of his first global meetings for a client and ate some great spanish tapas with his new 'boss'....one of which was fried bait fish, little fish you'd imagine in your fish tank! Tried a British version yesterday, and I can't even describe them right now. I'm sure I'll grow to love them.
