It is the last day here in Geneva, Switzerland. Tomorrow, I will be in Paris, France. The mountains here are amazing. Especially in Innsbruck, the mountains were giant walls surrounding the city. In Austria, we stayed at the facilities of the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck. While in Austria, we visited the Swarovski headquarters for a lesson in luxury and branding. After the corporate visit we went to their Crystal World museum (aka Kristallwelten)--probably one of the strangest/most interesting places in the world. It was like a cross between a modern art museum, a science museum, and being on LSD (at least what I would expect being on LSD would be like). We spent one afternoon at supposedly the highest mountain lake in Europe while we were in Austria, and then a couple days later we were at another mountain lake in Switzerland as we were passing by on our way to Geneva. Both of these places were astounding and definitely highlights on the trip. In Switzerland, we went to the Nestle headquarters and the WTO headquarters. The only downer about Switzerland are the prices. Just to give you an idea of the prices, a Big Mac costs about $12 USD. Everything else generally seems to cost at least twice of what I would expect to pay for it.
I have tried but am currently unable to post videos of Kristallwelten and the Swiss mountain lake, I'll post that when I can.
Finally, for Dad--my video of the mountain lake was me saying that I love you and wish you a happy Father's day. Hopefully, I can post it soon. Our bus driver, Ronny, exclusively plays James Taylor on the bus quite often and it always reminds me of driving in the car with you.
