When I start listening to Skinny Puppy’s “Too Dark Park”, it’s probably time to stop coding for the evening…

Rigi Scheidegg
For WWDC Day 2 I hiked up to Rigi Scheidegg from Kräbel: 9km, 900m ascent, 3h10m, 20°C. Lovely day and a good training hike for Mt. Pilatus.

Home, sweet home
Home in time for WWDC! (And work, and school, and German classes.)
Venice trip, day 4
Left our hotel at dawn to take the first vaporetto of the day up the Grand Canal to where we’d left our car at Piazzale Roma. We wanted to make an early start to beat the worst of the northbound traffic in the Gotthard Tunnel to cross the Alps. Pesky mountain ranges!

Venice trip, day 3
Venice Trip, day 3: vaporetto to the island of Murano, glass museum, window-shopping for glass vases, glass-blowing demonstration, vaporetto to Burano, quick stroll to admire colorful houses, back to Venice, then more cicchetti for a quick light dinner, and an early evening.
