29Oct2007: We had planned to visit Mont Blanc in France, but Christy was ill, so we took the train into the city and walked around the old town. Then we took the train to the UN compound. Elizabeth and Andy began to feel ill. We used the world-class UN bathrooms, then took the train back to Christy's. On the walk from the train stop, Elizabeth vomited on the clean Swiss sidewalk. Elizabeth and Andy spent the rest of the day getting sick in Christy's fine Swiss toilet.
