29/05:
A friend of a friend (shout-outs to Stefanie and Gianluca!) gave me a great tour of CERN today. CERN, by the way, stands for Csomethingfrench Esomethingfrench Rsomethingfrench Nsomethingfrench -- it's a research center with a few thousand scientists working away at solving some of physics' big questions by smashing protons and/or lead ions together at about 99.9% of the speed of light.
In the evening, the rain which had been plaguing the country since I arrived let up and let the sun shine spectacularly through. Switzerland may be the most beautiful place I've ever seen (and that's saying something).
