Geneva fireworks

Spent a lazy saturday today at Lausanne. Went out and sat by the lake - filled with hordes of people - reading and enjoying the sun and lac. Went for a long walk along the lakeside and reaching EPFL in 90 minutes. People were playing all sorts of sports in the meadows by the lake, sunbathing, swimming in the lake, sailing, kayaking, what not. The place was buzzing with activity.

In the evening went the geneva to see the greatest fireworks show in Europe. The lakeside was crammed with people, part of a week long festival celebrating the national day of Switzerland. As if they needed a reason to party. Barely got a foothold in the place. Food was there from throughout the world. The theme country was Vietnam this year, and so there were lots of Vietnamese culture and food and items on show. And Vietnam is one of my most admired countries too. Wanna hazard a guess as to why? :-) Lately had started liking Paella and Sangria - Spanish food and drink - and had it over there in the fair. The fireworks were very cool, musical one, so the fireworks pattern danced with the music. Had seen musical fountain before in kolkata, but first time musical fireworks. Returned with a full-to-capacity train load of people at 1:30 am back to Lausanne, and promtly fell asleep.
