Geneve

This is how they write and say Geneva over here, except there is also a little accent mark above the middle "e". Last Monday, on a day off, Steve, Mike and I traveled to Geneve. The city is the 2nd largest city in Switzerland, (first is Zurich,) so there is so much to do!

While there we first tried to find the Jet D'eau, which is a monument that shoots water very high into the air..we think we found it, however no water was shooting from it. Later found out that it doesn't run all of the time.

We think that this was the Jet D'eau

Cathedral along our walk.

We then spent the remainder of our time walking around the big city. It was filled with several stores and shops that had whatever you could think of; chocolate, fashion, shoes, souvenirs and lots of watches. Geneve is also known as the watch capitol of the world, so I made sure to get one while there!  I went with a fairly economical watch, Swiss made of course. But we saw several watches that priced ranged in the thousands and up!

Rue du Rhone

Getting dark, lots of Christmas lights up!

One afternoon definitely isn't enough. Therefore, we plan to go again. And the next time we will be inviting Vladimir, one of Mike's teammates, to be our tour guide. He was born and raised in Geneve!

Saw this and HAD to take a picture of it, haha! (and No, I did not buy one…)
