Today we got up for breakfast and my dad said to hurry because there would be a surprise in the dining room. When we got to the dining room, I walked in and I saw a HUGE dummy. I mean mannequin dressed up as a waitress. We had breakfast and it was kind of creepy having her watch me eat.

After breakfast, my mom and Hannah and I headed out to shop for a pocketwatch. We went to several shops that had them. Geneva is the center of watches and there were lots of pocketwatches to look at. We finally we stopped at this one shop that was selling a nice range of pocketwatches, a whole drawerful. Among all of those was one that I really liked. It had a airplane on the front and an eagle on the back. It had regular numbers and also showed the date. That was the one I wanted and we got it and I wore it out of the store. I love it.

We had fun exploring in Geneva for the rest of the day and then we packed up for our journey to England on Friday.
