Just as I got back from the Bay Area our good friend Manfred (better known to us as “Manni”) came to visit us. I and him have known each other now for 51 years (yes, that is since 1st grade elementary school). We had a great time, exploring Geneva (incl. the very well done and detailed archaeological exhibit underneath St. Pierre’s) and the “Microcosm” Exhibit at CERN; the latter in lieu of actually visiting the accelerator tunnel since the LHC is operating and closed for anyone (except for repairs, of course). Besides touring the area we also used his visit to sample more of the local cuisine. The weather was bad, but that did not prevent him and Sylvia to take lots of pictures (his being a photographer they share a common interest here). For me and him the visit allowed us to catch up on each other’s life (like, having a 4-hour breakfast last Sunday discussing our lives and the world they happen to be a part of). His visits are a gift I would not want to miss.
