early

Today is race day, and I am not the only one already up.  It's not that I am competing, it's just that my mind is racing.  So I have booked train tickets for the second part of tomorrow's journey and a hotel.

Lausanne has some great sights.  Yesterday Clara and I visited a park while Sham and Kieran had a tour at the laser lab, courtesy of Joanna's cousin Chris.  Mon Repos was truly a relaxing spot with an aviary and very nice playground.

Joanna spent most of the day in preparation -- riding up Ouchy hill, etc.  The rest of us took the Metro up to a new aquarium (Aquatis) which is a wonderful display of fish and the ecology of the area.
