Geneva: Museum, Russian Orthodox Church and Parks

THIS IS GENEVA POST #3, KEEP SCROLLING DOWN FOR THE FIRST TWO!

Ever since we went to the London Museum, Brent and I have been looking for one to rival it! For this reason we went to the Geneva Museum of Natural History. Like the London Museum it was free (a price we tend to be addicted to!)

Inside we found a lot of interesting things. Glowing rocks, prehistoric skeletons and more! There was a full story full of stuffed animals of different habitats. Brent wanted to be in the desert with the dik diks.

I preferred the water based animals. The museum was neat but no London Museum, we will just have to keep looking!

Brent also wanted to find the Russian Orthodox church. He really enjoys the idea of the gold Cupola's. He couldn't find it, so I found it for him!

Another famous aspect of Geneva is the famous flower clock! Here it is! Not quite as pretty as when it is in full bloom, but still a dependable watch!

In the park with the flower clock Brent found this unusual statue!
The Flower Clock park is by the harbor where the highest shooting fountain is. Brent made it clear to me that he had to see this fountain at night when they light it up. We saw it during the day but didn't take any pictures. When we got there after dark, the fountain had been turned off. It is sad I know, but I am pretty sure it is because of the freezing weather made it a little more dangerous to shoot, or something!
