Exploring Nyon (Photo Adventure)

So, a couple weeks ago I had a little fiasco with Bean (my laptop). Basically he just wouldn't start all the way, he'd power up, but OSX wouldn't load. Apple tech guys couldn't figure out any sort of diagnostic, so I biked an hour into a town called Nyon, where there's an Apple store. Perhaps a bit of a stressful motive for the visit, but it was a fun day exploring the town after I dropped bean off. Enjoy the pictures!

Entering Nyon...

Walking through old town

Triple-decker houses like these are conducive to miniature cities on the rooftops (below)



The old castle is a good place to read.

Here's the view looking out


Finally down by the waters of [the infamous] Lac Leman!
(not to be confused with the Oregon-based musician "Loch Lomond")



I'm not sure if all the cats in Nyon look like this or if this one was actually stalking me.

Can I say that the trip down was significantly faster than the one back up?

At least there was a good view of Mont Blanc at sunset

BTW, Bean is back and doing great. It turns out to have been a faulty hard drive, which was covered under warranty. I just had to pay 90CHF to cover data recovery. Hurray!
