Fêtes de Genève - Geneva Festival


Brian and I went to the Festival last night and met up with a few friends. The festival is every August and starts after the 1st. August 1st in Switzerland is the equivalent to July 4th in the US. The festival has tons of vendors for food and drink, carnivals rides (which is not my thing) and music concerts.
It is so hilarious how American music influences other places. We heard a band last night play 70s disco music and people were getting down! And of course there is always a Bon Jovi song to enjoy, a little ACDC (which Bri loves) and a DJ at the end that plays just dance tunes - total Dance-offs with the locals. You would have loved it!!!
We had a bit too much last night as Brian is still sleeping and it is 1:45pm GVA time!! Prior to going to the festival, we had a bottle of wine , special cheeses, salami and spicy mustard. My favs (cheese and italian meats) are so good over here! We were planning to travel somewhere in Switzerland today, but think we are just going to go to the local markets, do some shopping and eat!!! We eat out a lot here. So expensive, but it is about the experience, right? You will know what we are talking about when you come to visit! That's all for now. love, dena xoxo
