So we just finished our third week studying here in Geneva, Switzerland! So much has happened since I last blogged!

So last Monday (1/21) we toured the United Nations, which was amazing!

Then on Thursday afternoon we left for our first excursion...first to Chur, then Davos, then Bellinzona! We spent the night in Chur on Thursday night then took a train to Davos for the World Economic Forum, which so far is my favorite part of the trip. The topic of the forum was "USA-What Next after the Elections?" The panel included Howard Dean, Bob Edgar, Olaf Gersemann, and Ayatollah Hadavi! All MAJOR leaders throughout the world! After Davos, we left the next day and toured around Bellinzona which is in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland! It was beautiful!

This weekend was our first three-day weekend because we did not have class today. Two people are in Paris, two are in Munich, and one is in London. The rest of us are still here in Geneva, but there is plenty to do...whether school related or not!

This upcoming week looks promising as well! On Monday we are touring the World Trade Organization and then we have another three-day weekend!

I'd better get back to finishing up my reading! I will talk to y'all soon! Bon soir!
