today I took the opportunity to wander through downtown geneve, wander up through the old town around the cathedral, wander down to the university. the old town is quite pleasant, and the large parks are nice for a stroll. It's nice to have all of the fountains with potable water, even if it is a mystifying concept to a californian. the statue of the reformationists down by the university really is rather impressive.
I bought a guidebook to Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Maybe I'll get the one on Poland too.
I found my bike and rode around the cern campus at dusk, around all the small accelerators. stopped to look at some cooling towers, found the cern amateur radio club. had a beer and read some quantum mechanics. one week left at cern.
