And Finally, Geneva

Our official study program came to a close on Friday, June 25, with a trip to Geneva. Geneva is a beautiful, international city with a bustling city center and incredible museums. It is also the watch (as in time pieces) capital of the world. We had an incredible visit to a Patek Phillipe watch collection that included over 1000 historically significant time pieces, many of which were made for and owned by royalty. The artistry and craftmanship of the pieces in the collection were stunning.

At the end of the day everyone was weary but fullfilled. Field guides with the attendent assignments were completed and plans for continued travel were finalized. It's been a wonderful experience that none of us will ever forget. Thanks especially to Professor Bob Winward, our leader, mentor and guide and to Dr. Chris Fawson whose teaching sessions added so much to our experience.
