Seilpark again

Today Lara and I went and got gipfeli (croissant-type things) from the bakery for breakfast, and then hopped in the car with aunt Claudia and uncle Ralph. We drove an hour or so to a seilpark (the same one I went to with my german class this past summer!) where we met up with my uncles brother, which is technically also my uncle, I guess. Idk. That's weird.
Anyways, we met up with him and his three kids and went climbing and ziplining around in the trees. It was super fun. Apparently I cannot keep myself from shaking when I get up high, though. It's really weird. I'm not scared of heights at all, but i start shaking like crazy. At least I learned something new today.
After that, we ate ice cream at a little restaurant thing and drove back home. On the way home the sun was so gorgeous; I took a zillion pictures.

Rainy Sunday

Today we got up late and went to the United Nations office. (the one here is the second-largest in the world!)
We went to visit the Jet d'Eau de Genève (Geneva water fountain) and it was raining like crazy. The fountain is a huge tourist attraction normally, but since it was so rainy we were the only people there. Woop woop.
We found another weird car...
And apparently I was feeling particularly fabulous when we were inside some old building with columns.
The sky in the evening was super pretty, it was literally purple. #nofilter
For dinner we had a traditional Swiss food called raclette. It's basically raclette cheese heated up and then poured over potatoes, and you can add bread, pickles, meat, or basically anything you want to it. It's really yummy.
