Last friday i finally went down to see the ATLAS pit, home of the biggest experiment ever! 92m under ground… unfortunaltely it’s so big, that it almost fills out the whole cavern, making it hard to get a good view. Anyway, it’s just awesome huge!
Having seen the detector (or at least the parts, that are already down there) I went on to see the BigBang… On Saturday there was the Fete du Lac in Annecy… which was a bit odd, because they locked the whole city, but offered the most impressive fireworks I’ve ever seen. They started out with some choir singing and ended up with 90m of fireworks… bambambigbang! Yeah!
I guess I’ll be disappointed by the Fetes de Geneve firework and/or the New Years Day fireworks in the next years…?!

Shy mountain and olympic city
This weekend we made a trip to Chamonix (FR) to visit the beautiful valley and the Big Old Mont Blanc. Unfortunately this big old guy is a little shy, so we’re not hundred per cent sure whether we saw him or not… cause he was hiding in a big fat cloud. Bast…! Anyway!
We probably had the highest funny french lunch break including a Skat session ever done!? Sitting at the Aiguille du Midi at 3842m… yeah, rock on! Spending half the day waiting for the big guy to show up an playing cards at this altitude we all suffered quite a bit…
On sunday I went to the olympic city of Lausanne, at the north shore of the lake, enjoying some more oxygen filled air down at the “beach”… which was actually no beach, but anyway!
