The great Geneva treasure hunt!

Saturday morning I slept in for the first time in a long time, it was nice to not have an early morning commitment on a Saturday.   Sarah made breakfast for Alija and I, a traditional Egyptian bean dish called ful. It was delicious, and so filling!  I think Pat will really like it, since he's not really a fan of most breakfast foods, and this seems more like a lunch food.

In the afternoon, I put threw together a Geneva scavenger hunt for the interns group.  I borrow the questions from a hunt that was developed by CERN for new staff.  I was really happy with the turnout, 22 people showed up.  Most people seemed to have a good time.  I wish I'd had more time to personalize the instructions a bit more for the WHO group.  Maybe the next activities coordinator can figure it out.

At the end of the treasure hunt, we all met up to give out prizes and try to figure out what the actual answers are (I didn't have an answer key).  Different groups definitely took different approaches to the hunt, but I think overall people had fun.  It would be nice if we had an easy space to meet up for after an event like this.  If I was organizing this in Toronto, I would definitely meet at the back room at the Ferret and Firkin, although I think that place shut down.
