The land of red crosses
We arrived in Switzerland this morning and met up with Aaron's dear friend Will. (We're staying with Will and his family for the entire trip which is so nice of them.) Today, we did sightseeing in Geneva, one of the most expensive cities in the world. We saw the Jet D'eau, a huge water fountain that shoots water up to 459 feet. Aaron and Will dared each other to go stand under it, and Aaron went further and got much wetter than Will. That little guy in the picture is Aaron....We then checked out the Geneva cathedral. It was a very simple church. After the church, it was lunch followed by a watch maker's exhibit at a museum. It was overwhelming to see floors and floors of clocks and pocket watches. And of course, we had to get sweets since it's Switzerland and they're famous for their milk chocolate. I had a framboise macaroon while Aaron had a caramel salt and butter one. And for chocolate, we had some nougat chocolate (less than stellar) and a cubed piece....hopefully tomorrow, we'll get better explanations of what we're buying since the lady behind the counter at this particular bakery was not good at telling the customer what they were pointing at aside from the fact that it was chocolate.
