I didn't say it before, but I'm having a rest stop in the airport of Zürich. "Lovely airport" tells me a friend on Facebook, not sure I personally have any special feelings about it. It's calm and has a nice waiting area and a hotspot allowing me to publish this note ;-).

On the plane over from Stockholm, I had the pleasant company of a young Norwegian woman who works on her PhD in physics at the Stockholm University and was on her way to CERN. Yeah, I'm a bit envious, that's a site I'd love to see... and then, the Swiss landscape with it's soft hills all over the place, marvelous! Next time, I'm having a lay over for a few days rather than a few hours! Or I'll simply travel here to see the place. Anyway, this woman was marvelous to chit-chat a little bit with, too bad she was in a rush for her plane to Geneva, I'd have loved to have talked a little more, over a beer or a coffee, but hey, you can't get everything you want, and I'm happy with the time we had.

So for now, I plan on just killing time, surfing on my favorite sites, reading up on stuff I haven't read for a while, or...

My next flight, over to Boston, is in about 3 hours, boarding starts on 2 and a half...
