We've got culture, yes we do,
We've got culture, how 'bout YOU!

Maybe Geneva's not quite as sleepy as it was back then, but it's still enchanting—at least I think so—and I hope you do, too. I also hope that living here (or that you came from here or that you passed through here at some point in time—you might be reading this is Guam, for all I know) is one of the things you're thankful for as you sit down to your turkey on Thursday.
