Today our friend and former Paul's house roommate Sune took us on a tour of his workplace -- the United Nations!
Because Sune is an intern (he's been working for his country, Denmark) we got to go into the special, non-tourist areas. Very V.I.P.
Sune showed us everything ... (here's a room designed by a Danish architect - he was proud).
The highlight of the tour was, of course, the security council chambers!
So cool. Normal tourists do not get access to this part. They have to stay up in the balcony. Ha ha.
We were allowed to sit in the chairs. So awesome!
Here's our friend Hadley, putting Chance (Libya) in his place ...
She also tried out the magic translation listener things. They weren't on.
In addition to seeing places normal people don't get to see, the architecture was just fantastic. I love Modernism done well! I hope they never get enough money to redo it (apparently that's what's been holding up the remodeling since the 1950s, and the whole building is asbestos-ridden) ...It was an awesome tour and we're lucky to be in New York and have such well-connected friends!
