Geneve

That's French for Geneva. It was a pretty neat city, very quaint. Sadly, we did not visit the UN. We ran out of time. We did visit a cathedral with a really old baptismal font (I've seen several of those now).

The geyser for which Geneve is famous.


By far the coolest place in Geneve (my opinion of course) was the Bodmer museum. This was a guy who collected original manuscripts. Here are a few. I also saw original Beethoven, Mozart, Charles Dickens, Molière, some really old manuscripts of the Gospels and many more. The place was just full of cool stuff!

Here is a full original manuscript of the Book of the Dead


Original publication of the Tempest, by Shakespeare
