haha! No.
1 year agoSounds like you really enjoyed, and understood, your visit to CERN.
1 year agoCan you imagine moving in or out of a place like this.
1 year agoReally good to visit for sure. Nonetheless, I feel sure I made the right choice in a career outside of research. These large experiments are years in development, involving huge teams of people. Amazing commitment to a long term goal.
1 year agoNeither of us are physicists but when we visited CERN years ago we were fascinated by the information presented. Enjoy your visit, it is well worth it.
1 year agoIt was not crowded that we saw while we were there. Of course, its late season right now. However, our restaurant was full, and afterwards we walked through the walled section and all restaurants looked full. Then this morning we had the place to ourselves (around 9:30 am) but as we walked around more and more people surfaced. But just as we were leaving the arch, a busload of people entered (50?) so I think we just timed it right.
1 year agoWas Yvoire busy with tourists? When we rode through the town, having caught the ferry from Nyon, there were a huge number of tour buses. John looked after my bike, while I took a quick look at the village, but then we continued on our way.
1 year agoActually, we saw a lot of mallards, a few herons. Nothing amazing. Great cycling trails though!
1 year agoYeah, but really the cars were pretty polite. The buses weren't too bad. Some trucks though.... I feel like nobody wants us. The drivers think the road belong to cars, the pedestrians get annoyed when we're on the sidewalk!
1 year agoHate, hate, hate it. You get to choose-hit by a car if you pull left or ditch in the lake if you pull right. Uggghhh.
1 year agoDid you see any of the birds in the sanctuary?
1 year agoMerci bien, mon ami. Je suis heureux pouver a parler francais ici!
1 year agothx Rob. There will be no living with me now! And if Marjory actually slept through an entire night, THAT would be worth reporting,,,,
1 year agoMade me laugh out loud. Pat, tu es vraiment tres drole!
It sounds like you are off to a very good start. I love the way you are roughing it with the food and wine.
oh for sure, fun to revisit those ideas from long ago. Things haven't progressed too far actually, with the exception maybe of the Higgs Boson...
