Downtown.
On a Saturday, this place comes alive. Almost everyone that lives in Geneva must be here... Given that all shops are closed on Sundays, Saturday seems to be the only day to get all of your shopping and relaxing done in a style such as this. I would say this street is about 2 miles long, and every single block is filled with big-name designer shops. This must be a woman's paradise for shopping, it would take a person weeks to visit all of these stores. Speckled in amoung the shops are outdoor cafes packed with people. One thing that may not be as obvious in this picture; everyone knows how to dress around here! I've been here three weeks and have yet to see anyone wearing sweatpants, baggy or dirty shorts, old sneakers, etc. It is obvious that people tend to care about self image (There must be a hair salon and clothing store on every single block in Geneva). And, the average "size" of a pedestrian in Geneva is noticabely more "petite" than the size of an average American. This is an entirely different world over here.
