Old town and the Reformation

          Old town is the historic part of Geneva.  It has a lot of historical things, mainly about the reformation.  Some of the things that we saw were the church of Saint-Pierre and in that was John Calvin’s chair.  The reason his chair is in the church on display was he was one of the major reformers and he spent most of his life in Geneva and is buried in Switzerland.  Also we saw the reformation wall.  The reformation wall is a monument that has relief sculptures of the major reformers and tells stories of the reformation during the fifteen and sixteen hundreds.  We also went to a park and played checkers with these huge pieces.
