Our Dorky Trip to the United Nations

As I mentioned in my uber-long e-mail at the beginning of this blog, Kate wasn't able to come with me when I originally arrived in Barcelona, but we got to meet up two weeks later out our friend's home in Geneva. There will be more photos soon of us and Sharrolyn, Loic and Patrick, but until they arrive, here are the photos of our tour of the United Nations' office in Geneva.



While the UN's main headquarters is in New York City, many of the UN's agencies are actually headquartered in Geneva.



Since I spend about half my day writing and editing stories about the United Nations as part of my job, touring the offices where so much I write about takes place was very much a dorky professional thrill for me.



Above is an interior view of the Palais des Nations.



This last photos is actually of Kate and I standing in front of the headquarters of the International Red Cross, which is located directly across the street from the Palais des Nations.
