GRC microfluidics , 15-18 july 2007

The conference was held in a ski resort in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. The place was surrounded by mountains and walking/bike trails.


We had lectures in the morning, and the evening. The afternoons were free for socializing with a big choice of leisures. The evening after the lectures, a bar was also ready for discussions with beer and wine...



I went on a journey to the top of one mountain for downhill biking... Fun :-)




The last day we had the very famous Lobster dinner of NH gordon conferences!

Boston, 13-15 july 2007

Just before the Gordon conference in Waterville Valley, I paid a visit to Vincent and Isa in Cambridge... Vincent shares this lovely house with 4 other people, the house is just magnifiscent!




Mr "Casse-noisettes" paid a visit between two acorns...



We had a barbecue in the backyard...


Saturday we went to Boston to visit and do "some" shopping... Vincent gave us a very professional tour guide of the city center!






The reflection of the clouds on the skyscrappers' walls is really cool!

Boston is the greanest american big city I encountered so far.

First pictures with my new gadjet

Remo and I got a new gadjet: the magnifiscent digital camera from Sony called "T100"... We just received it today, so I couldn't resist but trying it out in the beginning of the evening!!!


The views you see are from the old city of Lausanne, just at the foot of our doorstep!

And this is our building...

Open air St Gallen 2007

Last week-end Remo and I were in St Gallen for the open air where Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, The Frames, Art Brut, Arctic Monkeys, and Snow Patrol were playing...


By chance we met Thomi and Fränzi! What a lovely surprise :-)

I leave you watch the atmosphere for yourself, it was simply amazing!

Fête de la bière 2007

Just between Mathias Christening and the Greenfiled festival, there was... I almost forgot it:

La Fête de la bière à Ouchy-Lausanne!!!

As you probably guessed, it is a beer festival located in Lausanne, by the lake...

Peter, Alessandra, Yannick, and Jérôme were there...

As well as Serge et Flo.

We tasted a good selection of foreign beers, and had a wonderful time!

Yannick wanted a little kiss from Remo...

...and Jérôme & Peter can have serious discussions!

About good beer :-)


Finally Thierry joined us in the end of the evening.
