Splurging our last photos of that lovely early-morning walk around Boston harbor in mid-August all on this post, given that we’ve since accumulated many photos well suited to this series on two trips to Geneva, plus the usual Amsterdam opportunities and more 🙂
Our last post was my first view of the alps, looking west-southwest as our plane started to line up along the French-Swiss border for its final dawn approach to land in Geneva. Thanks to an ungodly-early departure from my home on Thursday (after a late return from a delightful bassoon recital with Sam the prior evening), we arrived in viewing proximity to this magnificence at just the right time to enjoy that pre-sunrise glow without having to deal with the glare of el sol shining directly into the phone’s lens. These were taken the following day after a meeting downtown, when I got to see Mt. Blanc rising behind the city – last month when I was there the clouds were too to experience this, though friends told me it happened often. Wow.
My farewell ode to Vondelpark (A’dam’s most famous and tourist-beloved park) and its open air theater, since I moved away from its immediate vicinity more than two months (!!) ago already, and am now taking my sunny-moment or end-of-work-from-home-day strolls in the lakeside Sloterpark further north and west.
