happy xmas!

We drove up to Chambery to wander around in the old town with the two mini-mes and an american guy from work who is doing an internship for the year. It was a little cold, but I love that town. Now, if only the synchrotron could be moved up there.

Also, I found my sharpening stones and started sharpening my kitchen knives. Next step: utility knives and Franck's knives!
