Thing #9 that I love about Geneva - A River of a Different Color

We have two rivers in Geneva, the Rhône and the Arve. They have minds of their own, snaking through the area in odd and unexpected ways. DO NOT try to use them as a point of reference for getting around town. It will end badly!

Keeping with their unpredictable natures, these two rivers do something absolutely breath taking, that I fear many who come to Geneva, never see. These two rivers, one being a clear blue-green and the other being silty muck, come together at a point and merge. It's lovely.

Every time I see it, I feel a strange connection with Khartoum and dream what it must be like to see the blue and white Niles come together.

One day ...
