This summer, Switzerland and Austria are hosting Euro 2008 soccer championship. Being immersed in the culture here, now I realize what a heated craze Europe has over soccer (shhh, what they insist on calling 'football')!
Geneva being one of the host cities, is warming up for the opening with this giant balloon hanging over its famous landmark, jet d'eau.
Last night, after our dinner, B and I walked over to the lake to check it out. Here's a shot of the ball slightly skewed off by the wind. Don't worry, the ball is tethered to the ground. And the flag you see, is the cantonal symbol of Geneva.
