Clint and I arrived in Geneva on July 4th at 2:00PM local time. The train from the airport stopped directly in front of our hotel after only a 6 minute ride. We were sleep deprived but managed to stay awake until 8 PM local time. Sunday morning we woke up so late that we missed breakfast and had to walk (very quickly, I might add) across the bridge to the old town. Worship was held in the beautiful cathedral of St. Pierre, the adopted home church of the reformer John Calvin in the mid- 1500's during his exile from France. John Calvin pastored the congregation of St. Pierre in Geneva and preached his sermons in the very room where we were worshiping. After church we went to Lake Geneva to enjoy the view.
