A Visitor

At the end of May our good friend Ben Osterhouse came to Europe with his orchestra from Northwestern College. They made a stop in Geneva, so Didier and I went to hear them play for the Sunday morning worship service at Cathédrale St. Pierre. The orchestra did a fantastic job! Afterwards we took Ben out for dinner, and then showed him some of the sights.

The front of the cathedral.

Ben took this picture at the restaurant. I swiped it off his facebook page.

Walking through the old town.

I love this part of town.

We went to a big park next to the university that Calvin founded.

Ben gets a quick overview of Swiss reformation history.

The Reformation wall, with statues of the four great reformers who left their mark on Switzerland (left to right): Farel, Calvin, Beza, and Knox.

What doors are supposed to look like.

We took Ben up to the tower of the cathedral. At one level you come to this room, and if you look through the window in the door that you see in the picture, you are rewarded with...

... this.

A view of Geneva with its lake, seen from the tower.

Going back down.

We had a lot of fun, and we're so glad we got to hear Ben and the orchestra!
