A BBQ on the Lake



Yesterday evening we went to a bbq hosted by Martin's boss' assistant Franziska ... who has a lot of money. Her family owns a plot of land on Lake Zürich where they host bbq's and can go swimming. Across the street from their plot of land is an enormous house (which I think would be a perfect setting for weddings, it looks like an old mansion) where Franziska's family grew up.

All of the grad students and postdocs and their partners were invited to the bbq and there was a good crowd there. I snapped a few photos with the cell phone.

Martin and Nick getting ready to do more belly flops into the lake. The water was nice and refreshing though not too cold at all - just right:



Simon, back from a week of vacation looking refreshed:



A view of the lake once the sun stopped shining directly into my eyes:



The house. It didn't have any bedrooms, just a big kitchen and dining area and some changing rooms/bathroom. It's just meant for entertaining and spending time at the lake:



Some of the guys digesting the enormous dinner filled with meat that they all just ate. Then they went swimming again even though they could barely move.



So that's the story of our first swim in Lake Zürich.
