Hello peeps,
Its amazing how manz places I've seen in such a short amount of time. Let me fill you in:
From Brussels I made my way down to Paris. There I used
couchsurfing.com to find a host for the week. I stayed about 5 days and had a wonderful time. Paris is absolutely beautiful and there is much to see and do. I went up in the Eiffel Tower and saw the Mona Lisa. How many iconic travel destinations is that? I also got to mix and mingle with Parisians and met some cool people. I hit the city with another traveler from Mexico City. He had a camera so watch for pictures soon!
From Paris I caught a ride with a really nice couple to the city of Lyon in southern France. There is a hill/mountain overlooking the whole city and that is where the youth hostel is. Wow what a view! The city has a amazing old section that is a UNESCO World Herritage site. Also interesting was the middle eastern/north african influence of the city.
From Lyon I took my time in arriving to the city of Geneve, Switzerland. It is a very pleasant city with nice people. From here I'll travel to the interior of the country.
Theres only a few weeks left of the trip and I'm excited to get back and see you all.
Until then!
Justin
