June 4th, last full day in Europe.

We are almost done with our fabulous journey, America,

Our day started around 9:30am when our class went to find a place for Alli and me to give our presentation. Bender and Lovrien saw big fish through the crystal clear water of Lake Geneva. Alli and I gave our presentation on Sport Nutrition. We really appreciated everyone`s attention and great comments during our discussion. After the presentation we took a ten minute break and then Bria gave her presentation on Dance and cultural identity. This presentation was very interesting because we learned about the different styles of dance and what identities were connected with them. The best part of the presentation was when Bria taught the group a Rennaissance Dance. We learned 15, 8-counts of the dance and performed for the locals on their lunch breaks. It was very fun for the whole group to get involved with the presentation.

After the presentations we had a free day until our farewell dinner at Pizza Alfredo. Before dinner most of the group went shopping in the unique stores around Lake Geneva. We spent dinner talking about the cultural differences between Europe and the United States. We each shared one main take home point from the trip that related to Sport Management. It was interesting to hear how much each person has learned through this two week study abroad class. It has been brief, but we have all experienced so much. Most of the group will depart for Minnesota tomorrow morning, but Alli and I are looking forward to our 5 day exploration of Paris, France.

This has been a fantastic and memorable trip. Thanks for following our progress over the past couple of weeks.

Ciao Tutti!
