EARTHQUAKE IN ZURICH!
that's right, early sunday morning i was shaken from my slumber by a 5.2 richter scale earthquake! most excitement.
francesco was up visiting from milan for the weekend, and we'd just gotten home from the nelsen and were peacefully sleeping when i was woken up by what i thought was a truck rumbling past outside, along with quite a bit of a jolt to the bed. but then it all stopped and i was quite happy to go back snoozing. only today reading 20 minuten did i realize that it was in fact a real live earthquake. they seem to be lots of fun, as long as no buildings collapse.
the rest of the weekend was great fun - cool catching up with francesco about 7 years since i last saw him when he was an exchange student living with us in sunnybank. all sorts of memories and thinking about the future - he's of sciencey bent as well, and working out where to do his phd next year. it's such a good problem to have too many options.
