Rain, rain, rain...

Rain outside the windows - what's a tourist to do?  Head to a museum of course!  Every tourist knows that!

Paula, Nicole, Teo and I drove the 30 minutes to Geneva to the Museum of Natural History today.  It's a great museum with the usual dioramas of birds, reptiles, geology, etc.

The Geneva Mycological Society is celebrating their 100th anniversary and had some nice mushroom displays...

And there was even some ash from the Mt. St. Helens eruption!

I'm not sure that you can see from this photo, but the parking garages here have signs that let you know how many stalls are open on any given floor (here you can see the sign says 6).  There are also red and green lights above each parking spot to show whether it's occupied or available - here you might be able to see the small red lights along the ceiling.  It makes for relatively easy parking.

Here's a random street scene in Geneva...

Lunch in the museum cafeteria was a feast!  And we headed home for our, errrr... I mean Teo's nap.
