When you stay at a resort like The Abbey Resort and Spa on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, chances are that you'll eat many of your meals at the property's on-site restaurant.

Several weeks ago, I had the chance to check out The Abbey Resort and Spa on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin. 80 miles from Chicago and even less from Milwaukee, it's the perfect Fall escape from either city. Chicago residents don't even need a car to get there; the ...The mail jumpers of Lake Geneva

For the residents who live on waterfront property in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, the daily mail delivery comes by boat. The U.S. Mailboat Walworth makes the delivery every morning at 10am from June 15 to September 15, stopping at over 60 lakefront homes. At each dock, the mail girl - or the occasional mail boy - jumps from the boat, races to the mailbox while dodging rafts and dock furniture, ...The Abbey Resort and Spa: Luxury on Lake Geneva

Thought I'd share this shot, taken a couple of days ago, looking out of a window at the ancient and famous Chateau de Chillon (Montreux, Switzerland). Lake Geneva spreads out beneath the Alps, looking exactly as it did when Lord Byron wrote The Prisoner of Chillon.
As Switzerland suffers through its warmest winter since they've been keeping records (140 years), the beauty is undiminished, while ...Thinking Cold Thoughts for 2007

Britain's Meteorological Office announced that 2007 will be a record year for heat, and we will have that wonderful El Nino "weather phenomenon" to thank. So, in an effort to think cool thoughts, I'm passing on this picture from January 2005 of an ice storm's effects. This freezer-burned landscape was found along Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Apparently, the spray from the lake turned to ice, and ...
