Thursday, from Geneva to London

Our flight was to leave in the early afternoon, so this gave me a little time to make it to "Calvin's Auditorium" a place where Calvin lectured and taught. It was here that the College of Geneva began. With the reformation's emphasis on the scriptures, it was important to have literate and educated clergy. It is said that Calvin lectured or preached two times a day during his entire ministry in Geneva. All of these lectures or sermons were transcribed and preserved for generations to come. Simply amazing!
We made our way to the airport and boarded our plane to London. It was a fairly short flight. After clearing customs and picking up our bags, we took the underground to our hotel: the Jury's Inn and Heathrow. We would spend the night and then catch our flight back to the USA in the morning.
I was excited to discover that our room 608 overlooked the approach path to Heathrow's main runway. Every minute and 20 seconds another plane would fly right pass my window. As a pilot and an aviation nut, it couldn't get any better than this. I was excited to get this photo of an Emirates A-380, the largest passanger jet in the world.
