Birthday celebration

We celebrated my birthday with a delicious picnic in the mountains just above Geneva. It was a clear, sunny day with a beautiful view of Mont Blanc. First we had a picnic in a meadow full of cow poop. (Wonder what all those Swiss were thinking of my Brazilian shirtless men...)

It was quite windy, but Alex decided has pretty much decided that he detests wearing shirts regardless of how cold it is, especially, when he's wearing "peixe" (his swimming shorts that magically appear on his body every morning).

Afterwards we went to the Botanical Gardens for birthday cake and a dip in the fountain. In the evening, we went to the Bains de Paquis on Lake Geneva for dinner on the lake, followed by a great ferris wheel ride.
