As I walked back through Geneva I passed this park where the
Swiss were playing chess with unique technique. Then before hopping on the bullet train again, we stopped at the University for lunch in the cafeteria. It was quite ironic to be eating Chinese food in the cafeteria surrounded by students of all nationalities and walks of life. Kilometer by kilometer the sun got brighter and the air got warmer. Pulling into the port of Marseilles I was excited to see what the Riviera had to
offer. The shores were filled with sail boats and the streets lines with shops and the tanned skins of the southerners. Their accents were fabulously confusing! Pain “paan” came out sounding like “payyyn”. We rushed off onto a boat ride whizzing by the Chateau D’If - domain of the Count of Monte Cristo. Though the story is fictional,
they’ve even unearthed a hole as evidence of where the Count dug out. There are several little islands near the shore and then five inlets where the water is a clear turquoise blue color. This is actually the spot where the rock was taken for the base of the Statue of Liberty when France gave it to us.
