Soccer fans are probably already aware that the Euro Cup is taking place right now in Austria and Switzerland. In Geneva they have a "fan zone" and last Saturday we went into the city to check it out. It reminded us a lot of the Olympic Plaza in Salt Lake City during the 2002 Winter Games. You'll have to excuse the lousy pictures. Our regular camera had a dead battery (whoops!) and so we used our old one.
Alex and Ruby are standing in front of the stage that they use for concerts. 
Behind Pete you can see all of the food tents and tables set up. They had food from every country there.
Pete and I feasted on falafels and doner kababs while Ruby and Alex had a meal of fries, donuts and Fanta. They are still getting used to the food here.

Swiss pride
While we were there, we went to Old Town Geneva to check out St. Peter's Cathedral. Originally Catholic, it was built from 1160-1230. When it was transformed into a Protestant church in 1536, they removed all of the Catholic decorations except for the stain glass windows and the stalls.

Checkers anyone?
