CERN, Previssin-Moens/Meyrin, France/Switzerland.
Definitely one of our most interesting destinations was CERN, more famously known as The Large Hadron Collider, straddling the French Swiss border at Previssin. On the first of our many trips there, we met and became friends with a Danish Scientist working on the project, who explained everything to us in detail about what they were doing there. He was a really nice chap with a really nice family, who spoke perfect English. But, I still did not understand a word he told me about particle beam and quantum physics. I must have understood some of it at the time, as we had some really interesting discussions lasting into the night, but can I remember any of it? No. I still
to this day have a couple of friends well into these subjects who
discuss them with me, I nod and concur with their arguments, still not having a clue what the hell they are talking about.
In the photo, Kevin Seaton and Louise are in front of us, with the four of us getting breakfast in a sweet little village restaurant up in the mountains, just before we arrive at CERN, to deliver two more Static Var Compensators from GEC in Stafford, UK. I really must Google what one of them is, but I would probably be no wiser. Author’s photo.
