Crossroads of Europe, complete with fine timepieces. |

**Pictures 1-12 are Geneva**
The main thing to be said about Geneva is that it's nice. Not all that exciting, but pleasant and clean, and it's got a beautiful lake that makes it especially pretty. I can't imagine anybody going to Geneva to party or, really, to do a lot of sightseeing, |

A city that's also a work of art. |

**Pictures 13-24 are Florence**
After a beautiful ride through the Alps and a few hours in the Milan train station (made especially scary because I don't speak Italian), I made it into my next stop, and it was a very good one indeed.

There are approximately 1 million museums in Vienna. I had no idea. I met up with Kailen here, and we managed to see three of them (four if you count a palace). I could come back to Vienna 10 times and probably find more museums to see (and |

Still pretty cool to me. |

**Pictures 98-131 are Prague.**
People like to say that Prague was so cool like, 5 years ago, but I'm sort of glad I went there now, because I thought it was still cool, which probably goes to show I'm not nearly cool enough to be somewhere when it's still at the zenith |
