04. Trips

This is going to be a very short post. I'm finishing packing my suitcase because in a few hours I'll be flying to spend Christmas in Spain. I hope to see many of you! Geneva is still a complicated city. Or rather, I'm still making it complicated. I need hugs very much. Very, very, very, very much. So these next few weeks, make up for it 😊 See you in a little while.

Photo with Laurent, tutor, boss and friend. First familiar face I saw in Geneva - the rest of you can start getting ready -.

My first trip: visit to Étienne in Aix-les-Bains. We took advantage of one of the days to hike up some peaks - I was told it was just going to be a bit of hiking -.

Oliver, making the most of his first, and so far only, getaway. Enjoying a well-deserved break with a view of Mont Blanc.

I couldn't resist. The autumn colours from the R2 (the CERN restaurant where I usually have lunch).

And as for taking pictures of CERN, this one is from any other day, when it was still light when I left the office.

This is Lyon. With the excuse of a concert by his sister Karine, Étienne and I went on another expedition. This time I didn't take many photos, and to make matters worse, I left Oliver in Geneva. But it was a nice trip.

And finally these last few weeks I have dared to visit Switzerland, which I can't seem to get out of Geneva. And because I had Cecilia - colleague, friend, and part-time furniture assembler - to take me out of the canton. In the photo, Montreux, with Chillon Castle in the background.

Making the watch round around the castle to see if the spirit of Lord Byron appears. The dandy left a graffiti on the castle. Of course, because of being him, they frame it. If you do it, they fine you. C'est la vie!

And this last one, a photo with Cecilia in Lausanne. What an awful day it was. We took the photo at the only moment when it wasn't raining. Then I went to see a cousin who was also visiting Switzerland.

And that's all, folks (so far)

Merry Chirstmas!
