Festival De La Cite

Today woke up at noon --- after having to get up early every day, I understood the joys of sleeping late. I won't complain anymore if people sleep late during weekends lazily.
Went out for buffet lunch to Manor with a Lebanese friend from my hostel. He showed me around the centre city, all buzzing with activity - vendors on the streets selling a variety of things and people thronging the steets window shopping and actual shopping. They don't get chance to do any shopping in the weekdays with shops closing so early by 7 pm.
Then went for sometime to EPFL. Worked a bit. Then went out with SP and Basu to Lausanne city again. Got information about hiking and biking maps around lausanne, and also got to know where one can get free bikes.
Then went to this Festival De La Cite. It is basically the festival of the city which they have every summer for a couple of weeks. And today was the last day. There are various stages, with performers singing, dancing, doing plays, and various such activities. All were open air. The there were people in hordes, buoyed by the excellent weather. The temperature has rarely gone beyond 15-25 C range during my stay here at Lausanne. There were also lots of stalls selling food from around the globe, and various knick-knacks. Came back from there around 10 pm, and had dinner with my friends at their home with rice, dal and omlete.
