Geneva Switzerland
Jet d'eau or water jet.
One of Genevas most famous landmarks and one of the largest fountains in the world. It is situated at the point where Lake Geneva empties into the Rhone River.
(a little trivia for you)
132 gallons per second are jetted to an altitude of 459 feet. The water leaves the nozzle at a speed of 124 mph. At any given moment there are almost 1,849 gallons of water in the air.
Where is our chauffeur going? He was amazing to just get us from place to place with only about 2 wrong turns. He swears he couldn't have done it without "Clairisse" (the name for our GPS).
Is it not every child's dream to come onto a wrecked boat? They could have stayed for hours playing pirates or whatever their little minds think of.
What we won't do for the perfect shot. The house on the right was what we were after, but the fence was so tall you could only see the house through a little hole, so leave it to Mark to figure it out.

I love doors!! I have taken so many pictures of the greatest doors and I keep thinking I am going to dedicate one whole blog page to doors, but haven't yet, so I had to include this one now.
This is what 25 hours trapped in the back seat will do to a person. All you need to do is find a little wire on the road and Voila- you own cubby in the car.
They were amazing little travelers, we covered 2,725 km, and there was hardly a complaint from any one them- way to go guys!!.
