Day Four: Strasbourg and the Council of Europe

This morning was a little hard to get started considering our late night rubbing elbows with Parliament's finest. But we made our way to Strasbourg to visit the Council of Europe. Here was an interesting experience to see how each organization emanates a bit of favoritism for their own administration. Often our speaker would point out the short coming of the sister organizations that came from the "original" Council of Union.
We also received a little history lesson from Sam who informed us that markers all of Europe were put up to show where Jews were rounded up for the concentration camps. Here is what they looked like.
We came back to the Chateau and turned in for the night. We had some sleep to catch up on. :)
