After a fabulous few days in Basel, my host Kathrin and I hopped into a car and drove down to Geneva, our former home city. The fun surprise for us was that it just so happened the Geneva Auto Show was IN town, and since the two of us speed-demons were IN town (see my previous post with the German Autobahns), wouldn’t it be fun to randomly end up there since we were all IN town at the same time?!?!I totally fell in love with BMW’s new hybrid car (yes, there is a big part of me that is a tree-loving hippie, so by that logic, I love this environmentally responsible, renewable energy, green concept, blah…blah…blah!). I don’t care what anyone says – being environmentally responsible is super SEXY!
Evening came along, and I gathered all my friends for a fun dinner at my absolute favorite Italian restaurant in the city, Luigia, and off we went for a night out partying. Of course, I am prone to making impromptu plans and jumping countries, cities, time-zones, whatever… on a whim… so carrying on with that tradition – my friends and I decided we wanted to wake up at 6am the next morning so that we can drive into France to visit the lovely Chamonix-Mont Blanc region (in the French Alps), and go skiing! Did I mention how much I love my friends?!?!
Now you see why I love Switzerland so much? C’est tout! 🙂
