Thing #30 that I love about Geneva - Bread and Wine with The Brothers

Geneva may be the city of Calvin, but in my neighborhood the Catholics are going strong.

The Saint François church sits tucked in a little back way on a road closed to traffic. And right next to the church is a little building that houses the Franciscan Brothers.

A fixture of our neighborhood, you see them rocking around in their grey robes, sandals and rosary beads. You run into them buying their bread in the bakery. Recycling their wine bottles at the bins. Doing their thing, and as the Bee Gees once said, just stayin' alive.

I tell ya, there's nothing like men running around in grey dresses to add a little colour to the neighborhood!
