After a week of talking about issues like ethnocentrism, migration, globalization,a dn global citizenship in depth, we had a huge dance party and dinner banquet with all the advisors, professors, and students. We are leaving the Schloss (castle)and going our separate ways. There were about 60 students from Texas, Lousiana, Florida, Illinois and California participating and we all had common values and goals underscoring our unification under global citizenship. This seminar was really just the beginning as far as taking what we learned and applying it to our lives and enrichign others with the humility, openess, human value, and commonality we all have or should have.
So now I am heading to Vienna on the train which is about two or three hours and I will be there for three days mainly to visit Gabi, my former co-worker in Nicaragua last summer. We will only be speakign in spanish so that will be interesting...a US Anmerican and an Austrian communicating in spanish...but it is our common language since she does not speak english very well.
Hope you are well!!! Because here, Europe is amazing (even with unpredictable weather in Salzburg!)
