My trip to the U.N.

On Thursday, I went to the U.N. with Jess, another teacher and another fellow grad from Taylor University. Our art students had an exhibition there, so we got security clearance to go see it.


(Here's a link to more info, if you're curious about it:  U.N. - Vienna branch.)





:)


This view, as well as the next photo, are the only parts of the U.N. we can see from the U-bahn (train) whenever we pass by.





Look at the gorgeous sunset!  The second half of last week was unusually warm for January/February, so it was a great afternoon to trek around the U.N. plaza.



Someone attached a note to the U.S. flagpole, expressing their condolences for the school shooting in Connecticut in December.    :'(




(This was some water/irrigation/structure that was donated by China.  I accidentally deleted the plaque that described it.)


Not sure what this is, other than the obvious figure of a woman...

After the U.N., Jess and I headed to Starbucks and then to a girls' basketball game nearby.  It was a fun way to (almost) conclude a super-busy week!
