My parents in California

Hi all,

Beginning of January (two months ago thus...), my parents came to visit us. We were of course very happy to see them! They spent some time in Los Angeles and drove up the coast before coming here. I was kind of busy with the ACL deadline the first day they were here, but I could take the Friday off. We visited the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. It was fun to do that with my dad who showed us the computers he started working with ;-) For the week-end, Goéric and I managed to convince my parents to go to Lake Tahoe. My dad agreed reluctantly but after all he confessed that it had been a very good idea :-) On Saturday we drove around the lake, stopping for a short walk here and there. The weather wasn't too bad. On Sunday we hiked down to Vikingsholm, at the head of Emerald Bay. The house is closed for the season, but it is still impressive to see if from outside and to admire its location!

Goéric made a nice movie (78MB: right click and save as) about our trip to Tahoe. Enjoy :-)
