Most of the Swiss students are all studying for their exams, but there are a few of us here who aren't in classes. Karen is one resident who isn't studying right now because she's doing an internship at the World Health Organization. She graciously let me invite myself on a daytrip to Annecy, France, and so that's where I spent my first full day in Europe. We took the bus with two other interns Karen knows from the WHO, and spent the day touring an old castle (now an art and history museum) and a former jail (now a center for regional history and architecture), walking around Lake Annecy, and exploring the city's many shops, street vendors, and bridges. In fact, the bridges over the canals have given the city the nickname, "the Venice of France." I had a lovely time exploring, and I thought it was a great way to beat jetlag!
I start work on Tuesday, so I should have more to say about my internship then! A bientot!
