My cousin Susan and her husband Dave came to visit us on their tour through France which started in Bordeaux and ended in Paris! We were lucky enough to have them for a couple of days, and were able to squeeze in a day trip to Geneva together. Here they are in the North Tower of Saint Peter's Cathedral, overlooking Lake Geneva. 
We were able to get really close to the Jet d'Eau, a giant water fountain spurting from Lake Geneva. (See previous posts for more pictures of the fountain). We were lucky the wind direction decided to stay rather constant that day, and not blow fountain water on us. The mist behind this swan is from the fountain.
We took a stroll by the citys' flower clock only to be sorely disappointed. I had built up this clock a little bit as being something pretty cool, but this is what we saw when we got there (top photo). It looked like a bunch of weeds, or like the orginal flowers had been bombed by something. Apparently this new look was created in the name of biodiversity. This (bottom photo) is what we remember the clock looking like. Sometimes, the original is just better. 
That night after Susan and Dave left for Paris, we met up with some of Max's co-workers from Granville who were in Chambery for business. It was really nice to see them and to catch up with them. We had a lot of fun that week and it felt so quiet after everyone left town. *Sigh* But, it's never that quiet for too long...
