My first trip into Geneva

Today I went into Geneva for the first time and explored the "Old Town" part of town. I met up with a friend from Harvard, a fellow rising junior, Heidi, to see the sights. There were many old buildings and cool sights to see, and I have posted some pictures below!


This is the Jet d'Eau, a large fountain that spews water into Lake Geneva.

The site of the fouding of the Red Cross


The Rhone River


A flower clock at the Jardin Anglais

Me with a cannon at the Arsenal in the city


Me in front of St. Peter's Cathedral


View of the top of St. Peter's Cathedral


Rooftop view of Lake Geneva and some of the city


Me on a cool balcony at this government office building



One of the office buildings there was mysteriously named "Alabama"


And finally, a view of the window of one of the many awesome bakery/chocolate shops in Geneva!

All in all, Geneva was exactly what I would picture a historic European city to be like. It's not a bustling metropolis, but it definitely has a nice poetic beauty to it!
