I often forget that everyone I care about is 6 hours behind me.

Read the whole thing, it's worth reading!
My Geneva story:

So I took the train from Barcelona to Geneva, it only took 10 hours. I was so tired though that I just got on the train, ate, watched the sunset go into the mountains, and fell right asleep. I woke up at two though and had to go to the bathroom. So I walked back to the bathroom and at this time the train is going super fast! Do you know how hard it is to go to the bathroom at that speed!?! So it took me a little while. Then when I went to get out, I couldn't open the lock, and that took me at least 3 minutes to open. Then I stumble back to my room and it's locked. So I waited a couple of minutes for the girl inside to open it.

I climbed back into bed wanting to fall asleep but couldn't. So I stared outside the window, thinking about what my new house is going to look like since my roomie and mom are getting while I'm gone..Then I actually started to doze off but was awaken to the guy pounding on my door to get me off at my stop. It was 5:45 in the morning.

So I get off the train only to be greeted my french speaking Geneva people. I think "Oh no, not again!" Then I go and try to find an atm because they use francs here. The american dollar is actually worth more than it!! But everything is sooooo expensive here that it doesn't matter..So I guess they don't want people getting money out because there are no atm's to be found!!

I walk outside and I am greeted by beauty! So I start to head to the hostel and there I find out I have to wait till 7:30. So I walk back to the train station and sit there and wait. Then at 7:30 walk back to the hostel and put my bag in a locker because I can't check in yet. I like the hostel though. Then they give me a map with places to go and where it's at. Also they give me a pass that lets me get on free to trams, buses, and boats! Awesome! So I do what I do in every place when I get there, EXPLORE!

I just start walking towards the mountains. (If you know me, you know I'm not good with maps) The city here is pretty crazy but I cross this bridge and end up in the old town. It is so chill and beautiful. I sit there for a while.

It gets about lunch time and I realize that I'm hungry. So I go to the supermarket and everything is ridiculously expensive! I go to the grocery store to get food every where I've gone because it's cheap and easy. I mean sometimes I get a meal to try the culture's food. Maybe I just got used to how cheap Spain was..So I get a sandwich, bread, bananas, and some swiss chocolate to try. It ends up being 10 francs! In any other place it would not have been that much! But whatever it's going to last me for the next couple days.

I eat my sandwich, it was decent. Then I decide I want to go to the beach because it's a beautiful day and I need to work on my tan. Haha. I ended up sitting on a bench right in front of the lake. It was a beautiful sight. It's so great because I have no worries, nothing is occupying my mind except that moment, and I have no where to be. The great part of this trip is I really don't have a schedule or anywhere I need to be..It's nice and breezy. So I lay down and doze off.

I wake up and hour later still tired but hot. I get up to find out my bread's getting soggy and I'm sweating. I get up and start walking to the center. This city isn't that hard to get around..

I see a RailEurope and I go in to make a reservation for a train to Florence, Italy on Wednesday! Like everytime you have to make a reservation, you get a number, and then wait till it's called. I sit down and wait for 30 minutes to and hour. I don't mind to much, I have no where to be. But poor people in that small office becaus I smelled really bad. I haven't showered in 3-4 days and I'm in the same clothes I was wearing yesterday. You stop caring about what people think of you on this kind of trip because you figure none of them will ever see you again. Then I got my reservation, I have three connections and it's going to be an all day event. The lady was really nice, which is always a good thing.

I walked back to the hostel because I can now officially check in. Also I thought it would be a good idea to bring the Spanish siesta here. A siesta is a nap in the afternoon or after your meal. In Spain they close down stores for it, and then re-open after. I'm really thinking about bringing it to the states. I'll have to suggest this one to my boss. ;))

Then I got on here and NOW I'm going to go take a siesta. But maybe I should take a shower first!

Avoir!
