Europe Day 8

We woke up at 9:30 this morning, which was very late for us this trip.� Usually we wake up around 7am or so.� We had a leisurely breakfast and then left to go visit Sarah and Stephen at work.� For those who don’t know, Sarah works for the Lutheran World Federation and deals with many different countries accounting items and Stephen works for Action by Churches together where he writes stories on different world disasters for financial aid.� After seeing Sarah and Stephen we walked down the street and toured the national Red Cross Headquarters.� It was very interesting; one man started the Red Cross back in 1864 by expressing an interest in helping soldiers in war.� After the Red Cross Tour we walked across the street and toured the UN.� That was fairly interesting but very short.� The whole tour was only 30 minutes long and we only saw one room of the complex but none the less it was interesting.� The UN tour ended our tours for the day and we went back to the apartment anticipating our Fondue dinner planned for the night.� The restaurant we went to was styled after the chateau’s of the Swiss Alps including the yodelers.� All in all it was a great day.�
