July 8 Jet d’Eau (Day 285)
We got up early this morning and used our new Geneva bus passes to ride into the city with the commuters.
While most bus riders walked off to work, we walked to the waterfront to see this gentleman unlock the little box in the wall to push the button at 9am sharp to start the Jet d’Eau, the water jet that is the symbol of Geneva!
Watching it start up and shoot into the sky never gets old!
We then caught a tram to the Uni-Bastion, the park surrounding the University of Geneva main building where I spent 3 months in 2019 trying to learn french.
Scenes from around the University. The building is closed and swathed in scaffolding undergoing a much needed renovation! Once it’s remodeled I might come back and try french lessons again!
We caught the tram and the bus back to Vandoeuvres for a wonderful dinner prepared by Raymonde.
Even the “Basset” hound joined in!
Another evening walk with a great view. Mt. Blanc is somewhere out there!
