More pictures....

Two cute marmottes.
And this photo is the statue of Gandhi just outside the gate to the UN.
The next photo is the view from our hotel room.
This is a mandala that a school from Wales presented to the United Nations in honour of the day against Child Labour. I got to hear part of the presentation. It was made by many school kids from age 9 to 17. And this is the poster that was launched by the UN. The theme went along with the opening day of the World Cup soccer being held in South Africa.

Great photos Erin. Do you get to watch some of the soccer on TV. Papa catches what he can but the noise from those horn things is rather hard on the nerves, sometimes worse than others.
Hope you're enjoying your last day in Geneva. I think your weather there is just like Regina.
Talk to you again soon. Off to Salzburg tomorrow! Lucky you!

Luv Papa & Mumoo

Excellent photos Erin! You are doing a really good job. I'm glad to hear that you are having fun. I wish I was there!
Salzburg is a beautiful place. I hope you get to go to the village where the "Sound of Music" was filmed.

Excellent photos and stories Erin. I've been following your blog, just have not been able to leave a comment until now.(I hope). I have tried a couple of times, but they didn't show up....so your mummo told me to post it twice. I see your friend posted her's about 8 times.
Keep having fun, and see you soon.
