Piled eight people into a Peugeot and headed up some mountain... great hike. Invigorating cold shower (water schedule still a mystery) then relaxed on the terrace making fools of ourselves for the next n hours.

camp cern (stolen title)

still looking for traction I guess. complicated feelings. hot weather. at least our dear electron calorimeter now has all its tubes checked, and I'm relegated to soldering together photomultiplier tube controllers. group dinner again, yummy french-bread pizza. Independence from the CERN cafeteria will soon be ours! I've met a lot of Europeans but we haven't done much together. The Swedes think I'm a little nutty because I apparently like Sweden more than they do, but we get on well. Met quite a lot of Danes too, but I don't understand their [spoken] language at all. Gonna teach Liz to drive stick. Such is the life of nomadery.
