Europe 2003- Part 1

	Divonne les Bains Joe had to observe some training in Divonne les Bains, France for the first part of the trip. It's a small resort town just across the border from Geneva, Switzerland.
	From the hotel, you walked right into a picturesque town.
	This is the entrance to the casino that is attached to the hotel. It is the second largest in Europe. (Monte Carlo is #1.)
	A little stream flows through the town and the hotel property.
	There are locks and waterfalls all along the stream.
	This is the front of the hotel.
	The lobby was beautiful and obviously decorated for Christmas already.
	The fireplace was going each night and made the room very inviting.
	We bought some handmade chocolates as souvenirs from this shop. The owner, his wife and 5-month old son spent time chatting with Becky and Sarah. The conversation was brief due to Becky's lack of French and their lack of English. (Sarah and Aiden had no problem communicating.)
	This was the Catholic Church in the small town.
