Wow, it's been so long I last posted here ! Three months ... The summer has passed, we went on vacations, 10 days in Chicago to see our friends Evren and Ceren, and we went a little bit around Switzerland, though not so much because of work ... Things have changed: Laura is now a doctor, it is more than 30 degrees Celsius in Lausanne, I've met my super-cool nephew Joachim, a new particle has been observed at the LHC. And I'll be back in South Africa in less than a month.
I guess I should have posted something about Chicago, but I'll skip that for now - maybe later I'll do it, if I find the time ... Today's post is about Switzerland. We've been living here several years now, but we barely know the country, and yet it is not very large ! So, recently, we took the car and went in the Valais canton, first to Martigny and the Grand-Saint-Bernard pass (border with Italy), and today to Lac de Moiry, close to Sierre.
Here are some pictures ...
Martigny and Grand-St-Bernard
After that, we visited quickly the town of Sion, still in Valais, which is said to be the sunniest in Switzerland. It's probably true - today we passed through, and it was like 40 degrees !
Lac de Moiry
A panoramic view:
Lausanne
Just because I don't often put pictures of Lausanne ... yesterday we went for a swim in Pully, and there is a guy who likes to pile-up stones. It starts looking quite nice!
