Evening Walks

Being a workaholic has started to get to me, so in an effort to get out more I have decided to take a walk after dinner (as often as possible). I want to get to know the city and enjoy every beautiful thing that I can.

Sunday 22 May 2011

We wanted to get to know our neighborhood a little since this was our first weekend here, so we ventured out to take a look. This is what we found near our apartment. Oh, should I mention that we both love to take pictures of buildings? Well, we do, so consider yourself warned! I think, however, even the people that don't like to take pictures of buildings will find some of these interesting enough to immortalize on film. The use of color and texture is not something that we are used to seeing in Utah.

Check out the spiral stair cases

Just because we are WOMEN

For Mom! We are EVERYWHERE

Just a little of the local art work

This was also the first time we wondered down to Geneva Lake (or Lac Léman for all of the French speakers out there). Where we saw strange mishaps, a swan's foot for the first time, Jet d'Eau, Neptune's Stone, the Flower Clock, and had our first ice cream cones.

You can't tell from this picture, but the women didn't actually have an ore-it was just a pole.

"I've never seen a swan's foot before!"

They are so pretty

Jet d'Eau

 

and ice cream for Jess

Mango and Lemon Sorbet for me

Click on this picture to see the rock peaking out of the water. It is Neptune's Stones which has historically been used to determine the city's height over sea level.
