It had been too long since I last visited Geneva. Megan and I visited our friends in Geneva for the first time in many years this weekend.

Being able to travel to another country in just two hours by train is fantastic. Thanks to Switzerland being part of the Schengen Agreement and a relaxed border, we were not asked to show our passports or documentation.

This short trip was our first visit outside of Lyon since moving. Returning on the train back to our own apartment felt good; we really had moved to this new country.
