So the second month of our stay has passed….
The beginning of the week started out with science and photography—I had wanted to take pictures of the famous Large Hadron Collider but right now noone except a select a few VIPs get access to that. So I was fortunate enough that some colleagues of Uli invited us to tour the CLIC Test Facility where development for the next generation of accelerators is being done. I got some science education as well as the opportunity to take photographs. It will be fun to create some abstract pictures with the forms and colors that presented themselves.

At the end of the week we went to an English Lutheran service in Geneva. The pastor is Brazilian and she led the congregation in a truly multilingual service. We sang songs in French, German and Swahili with organ, drum and piano music. The gospel was also read in several languages. It is a small church so the coffee hour is directly afterward in the sanctuary. This made it easy to meet people from all over the world. We continued our day with a visit to the Reformation Museum where we educated ourselves about Calvin and other reformers.
