....the first Saturday in a long time........

Saturday started with the taste of Portuguese food in my mouth at around 8:30 AM. Friday, P+P (along with their lady friends)went out for a chill night and some Portuguese food. The place came reccomended (and Pedro gave it the thumbs up) so we headed off. After some bottles of Vinho Verde, Bacalhau, and some Porto from Perdo's hometown we called it a night.
It is in EV:

So back to Saturday. This is the first Saturday that I have been in Carouge since December and it was very good one. The clouds started to clear at around 9:30 and the it was a gorgeous Spring day. Market in full swing, people out, birds chirping,...this was a day you wanted to bottle.

So after some computer time, a little painting (project is coming along), and a quick shower I stepped out the door and got breakfast, lunch, and dinner within 10 minutes.
The spoils:

After my b-fast I didn't have any plans so I headed into Geneva to pretty much..chill. I walked around Rive and EV:



Had a drink on the water:

Stopped at some shops and enjoyed CH. After my city venture the plans were still open but I knew I wanted to play a little golf (I need to practice so I can kick my Dad's butt when I am in the States ;-) I knew there was a little Par 3 course and driving range near the end of the airport, so I headed. I drove around a little and actually eneded up at the Geneva CC. This is an old school style club that is really a CC...no course but a practice facility. I found out after talking with the Pro Jason that it is not open to the public but you can join and use the practice range...the rate is 1200CHF a year!!!!..but you get free balls and 6 lessons. It is a nice place but I don't think I can hit 1200CHF of balls a season. Jason was nice enough to give me a free bucket though:

After the balls were done Jason told me of another range close by, the on I was looking for before, and they were having a demo day...so I headed there for some free balls and to hit some drivers off the range ...I loved this driver in the tour addition (CLEVELAND GOLF):

This place was very cool and will be my new practice facility after work.
Tonight I am off for a few drinks and some food with a posse of peeps from work...should be a good time.

On a side. As I walked through EV today it reminded me of last year when I just arrived. I was stressed about life in general...work,x-wife, new GF, etc.....I walked there today content and extremely happy... thank you everyone that has contributed to helping me....I would have this smile on my face if it wasn't for you.
