Geneva

A couple weeks ago there was a art show going on in Geneva, Switzerland. So we caught a train down there for the day. So basically, every year people from all over Switzerland are chosen to paint an area of which the organization chooses for them. There were literally hundreds of painters all over the city. At the end of the festival, the artwork gets judged. Then they auction off the pieces. It was quite the site to see. We also had the pleasure of being serenaded by accordions and violins with french music during our lunch. Geneva is known for Jet d'Eau (water fountain), propelling 500 litres of water per second to a height of 140 metres. It was huge from close up. And the wind happened to shift in our direction, which meant we got a little wet.
