Old Town Baden

Today is a National Swiss Holiday. Our only guess is All Saints' Day, but we're not sure. Instead of travelling to PSI we have a meeting in Old Town Baden. Pete and I walked around there on Sunday, so this is a picture overlooking the Limmat River after we visited the Langmatt Foundation, which is a small museum in Baden with some big name artists. They had one Monet, one Cassatt, one Degas, quite a few Renoir, some Pissarro, and several Cezanne. Most of the first floor is Swiss and other random pieces from all over the world. We kind of went through that part quickly.

Today we have a large group meeting to decide what experiments to do for the next week and a half. It's in one of the hotels in Old Town, right by the thermal baths, which could be good today as it's quite wet outside. So we've had our cheese and croissant breakfast, now it's time to work up some data to present this afternoon. Today is kind of a teaser in that we don't have to go to work, but we do have to give a presentation on our results from the past three experiments. Well, in any way, it's nice to have a day off, it being kind of real or not. Posted by Picasa
