We got to the European Court of Human Rights and had the "pleasure" of having one of their judges speak to us. I didn't pay attention to much, except that he was Anti-America, and Anti-Scalia. That's two strikes, Mr. Human Rights Judge, you are on shaky ground. Fortunately one of our students did not let him get away with his disapproving remarks about Scalia and challenged his every word. Take that, Mr. Human Rights Judge.
After the session, we were having a free lunch at a really nice restaurant within walking distance to the court. That is, walking distance if its not pouring down raining. Unfortunately, it was raining pretty good, and we got pretty wet by the time we made it to the restaurant. We kept a smiling face and enjoyed the free lunch. We got salad as our first course, then chicken and beef on a skewer with potatoes and a delicious strawberry and ice cream dessert. It was awesome. We shoved it all in and enjoyed every minute.
After lunch, we were off to school for another 4 hours of classes. I can't honestly tell you if I learned anything or not, but when class was over, I was exhausted. We stopped at the store after class, and I got a bookbag (because my laptop case broke, so I need a way to carry my books and computer to school) and some snacks for the long bus trip the next day. After that, we went back and packed up our stuff.
Friday was a day of travel. We had a 8 hour bus ride to Salzburg, Austria. We had 2 rest stops, and a lot of driving. It was a long and arduous bus ride, but we made it to one of the most beautiful places on earth. We checked into our hotel and went exploring. It was great, but we weren't up for much, so we just ate dinner at a little restaurant nearby. We did nothing exciting, but had a relaxing day, and had a chance to recuperate before our big day on Saturday. We had a lot of exploring to do.
