Notre Dame, Paris
The Louvre... we found this on accident! We were just wandering
around Paris and saw this massive, sprawling building and decided to wander over there.
Lo and behold, it was the Louvre! Happy discovery :)
In a park just past the Louvre
You know this one!
Probably my favorite part of the Paris trip-- drawing the Nike of Samothrace!
So gorgeous.
The Palace of Versailles...
Eiffel Tower Round 2
A night in with yummy French pastry desserts
Back in Geneva-- with the Jet d'Eau
You can see the Jet d'Eau in the back if you look closely
Biking around Lake Geneve
LDS Temple in Bern!
Well, those are some of the highlights so far. This week there is a national holiday on Thursday, so I'm taking Friday off as well and we're going with a bunch of other intern friends to Cinque Terre, Pisa, and Florence. It will be a whirlwind, but it should be fun!
As for Public Health related stuff.... well, the WHO has lived up to its reputation. It's a bureaucracy. Though a well-intentioned one, which is definitely a good thing. I really like Director General Margaret Chan, who seems to really be focused on impacting individual lives, and trying to facilitate a working relationship between top-down/bottom-up approaches. Probably my favorite part of the World Health Assembly was when, in a Q&A at a technical meeting, one of the delegates accidentally addressed her as "Director General Margaret Thatcher." Boy, was that choice moment! Everyone was in tears. :)
I hope everyone else is having great summer breaks and enjoying their internships! :)
