Camels and Pigs and Rain

When I arrived here in Geneva, we were in the middle of some unusually warm weather. Now, apparently, we are back to more of the usual- fog, clouds, a little rain and colder temperatures. However, the early morning chills were immediately transformed to feelings of joy when I looked outside and saw THE CIRCUS!!



There are camels, horses, ponies, dogs and a pig unloading from trucks onto the parking lot and grass directly across from our apartment building. How exciting!




On a clear day you would be able to see Mont Blanc, the tallest peak in western Europe, above and slightly left of the circus tent. Directly behind the circus tent is the back of the supermarket- Carrefour- and the main drag of Ferney behind the tan apartment building on its right.

Of course, the current down-side of the circus is the LOUD blaring music they use to advertise their presence...but what can you do? I must be off to prepare for another dinner party- the very best way to meet people in a new country, I have decided.

Love from Ferney!
