| Le Jet d Eau |
Today we drove across the Pont du Mont Blanc into downtown Geneva. For once, Mavis, our trusty GPS navigator steered us properly and politely to the Place des Eaux-Vives. From there, we walked down to the lakeside and there was the Jet d Eau right in front of us. It has a maximum height of 140 metres, today it was at 130 m according to the measurement tool in front of us. It was a gorgeous spring-ish day and we walked for awhile until we came to the Parc de la Grange which has apparently had a settlement on it since 2500 BC. It was full of families, and spring flowers - daffodils, primrose, crocuses, and very tall cedars of Lebanon. There were no dogs, which was a nice break as usually there are all sorts of small pampered breeds everywhere that you go.

The camera was a shared tool today and we all took turns photographing church spires, interesting buildings, forests of sailing masts and closeups of flowers. Soon enough, it was time to go home and walk Sunny again. I love this life.
