Travel Day

Spent most of the day today packing up in Paris, picking up a rental car, and driving to Ferney-Voltaire (just on the French side of the border from Geneva). All in all, it was a pretty uneventful day. We did the first three quarters of the trip on the autoroute, which is a lot like driving on a freeway anywhere except that the convenience stores at the rest stops sell Brie and Camembert. The last part of the trip was a steep drive up into the foothills of the Alps, followed by a spectacular view of Lac Leman and the mountains as we started down toward Geneva.
