I'm first leaving on the 4th from Lyon to Paris. I'll stay at my sis' until the 7th, then I'll take off to Stockholm Skavsta with RyanAir from Beauvais (small hassle there but it is extremely cheap!). A bus ride later, Kambiz and I wil be walking the streets of Stockholm. It will be fun to see him as well as visit this country again, kinda "déjà vue"... Imad, an old SLC friend still lives in Stockholm and I am dying to meet him again!

Paul (my violin maker friend) and Maïwenn are also comming to SWE. She's going to be auditionned for the national radio orchestra and then we're all going to meet in Örebrö on the 9th for a concert given by Paul's friend.

I might then go to Finland for a couple days. Maïwenn and her friend have rented a cottage there to go cross country skiing.. we'll see..

I might also give an informal talk at the Stockholm Observatory about my thesis research work. That is if Kambiz can arrange it, slide it in the agenda!

Flying back via London on the 18th. There, I'll visit my friends Caroline and Christian who were in Salt Lake with me in '98-'99, lot of catching up to be made there as well!!

Back in Lyon on the 21st at night...
