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.

Les brunes ne comptent pas pour des prunes
Les brunes ne comptent pas pour des prunes., originally uploaded by adelie.This week we attended the cabaret in Perly to watch Cléa perform, and this was a group of girls who were laughing at a brunette singing this song which literally means the brunettes don't count for plums, figuratively speaking the brunettes deserve attention too! You can watch the youtube video of the original singer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdu4jmtzb-8 Honestly, this cabaret performance was waaay better than the original;) Cabaret du Perly Avril, 2008

No man's land
Bastien just returned from ski trekking with his buddy in Sarek, north of Sweden, where they lived off of dried oatmeal and pasta for ten days in -30°C weather, pulling their own sleigh on skis. I'm glad to have him back, defrosted, along with this memory he brought back on his little Elph.
