We came home to sit down for a min and relax before dinner (when Rachel posted last). While we were here Rachel googled places to eat here and we found a place that Frommer's recommended that is very close to where we are staying. We got there and ordered salmon and cheese fondue.
In case you didn't know, cause I didn't, fondue was invented in Switzerland and is a very typical meal here. All of the restaurents serve it. We ordered and as we have found is typical here it took a long time. After a while our waiter brought out a salad for Rachel and some bread. We shared both. Then eventually he brought out our salmon and fondue. The food was very yummy. We also enjoyed sitting outside and watching all the fancy cars drive by. Everyone here must be very wealthy. After dinner, we walked back to our hostel. Just down the street we stopped at a bar and got some drinks. The bartender recommended a caipirinha. It's kind of like a mojito, but from Brazil. I really liked it. The owner of the bar came and talked to us. He told us that the bar was only 3 weeks old and when he found out I was Cuban (in reference to the mojito), he wanted to talk in Spanish. He said that he speaks much better Spanish than English. So we spoke in Spanish for a while.
It was a fun night and we got to experience real Swiss food.

Isn't it interesting that you went all the way to Geneva Switzerland to speak Spanish to someone who was from Brazil. Maybe Brazil will be on your top 10 list for sometime in the future.
I bet the fondue made from real Swiss cheese was outstanding! You frequently mentioned how long the meals take. Getting used to a slower pace, must be challenging. It's quite different from our fast-paced life here in the United States.
Have a great day tomorrow!
