Day 2

A trip into the French countryside.

A busy morning with several planning meetings, plus more administrative moments, then an impromptu trip to the French side of CERN. The site is quite large and spans the Swiss-French border (and that’s not even counting the 27 km LHC). A summery afternoon with a spontaneous tour of the cryogenic-magnet test facility (with me being thrown into the role of tour guide!), then a wander around the local landscape, dotted with artificial hills, upon and underneath which sit buildings housing various old and new experiment zones… and to top off another high-energy day, a twilight thunderstorm!
