a weekend in France

Fa un parell de setmanes, un altre ex-membre del meu grup a Eindhoven va organitzar un cap de setmana a casa seva amb post-docs que hi havíem estat i gent que encara hi és. Va ser un cap de setmana genial i molt actiu: kayak, futbol al parc, barbacoa... i sobretot tornar a veure gent que feia més o menys que no veia. Es troba a faltar. Sembla mentida la diferent magnitud dels lligams que es fan quan s’està a l’exili. D’alguna manera les coses són més intenses... Fins la propera, gent! :)

A couple of weekends ago i spent the weekend at a friend’s with some present and former SMO members. It was very nice to see them all again! And a proof that i miss them (them and some more, to tell the truth). Somehow, the bonds you make while living abroad are somewhat stronger.
The weekend was great fun. We had dinner at an alsatian restaurant, where a tough guy wasn’t even able to finish a tiny little choucroute... :p We went kayaking next to the swiss-french border. I had never done that before... and the first thing you get is a 1m jump... so yep, i ended up in the water! Later on, a very exciting football match in a park (Champions League?? Bah!). Luckily –for me- three that could play got me in their team. Anyway, it looks sooo easy when Ronaldinho does it... :p.
A barbeque, some darts (it’s much easier to hit 18 when you don’t aim, believe me!) and a few mex games (is it a 63 or a 400??? Or maybe a 31??? xDDD). Summarizing, nice people, nice food & drinks, a lot of fun… See you next time, guys! ;)

Having dinner at the Alsacian restaurant. You can see the tiny little choucroutes... too much for Half Jacques... ;) :p

An exciting Mex game. What is is going to be??? The "magic" 63?? A 200?? Maybe a 500??... Ooops, just a 42!
