Yesterday's night on the town in south-western Paris took a tole on our group. +Most of us are still sleeping it off, and I as well wake up fashionably late at 10:00. I decide that +I've been hanging out on the couch horizontally for long enough and I fold up the bed. I brush my +teeth with a bottle of Jack and make coffee. I think the sound or perhaps the smell of coffee has +stimulated the gang just enough to wake up also. + +Clément reveals himself and says he has to quickly go outside. He reappears fifteen minutes +later with freshly baked goods. By this time, Alarig has plopped himself on the couch and drinks a +coffee with me. Only Sven still remains in `/dev/null`. We talk about tech: how IXPs are formed, who +peers and who doesn't, the cool Juniper central MX204 paired with remote switch 'blades', and +Clément conjures one up. Along the way, I lazily write my journal from yesterday. + +Sven joins us at noon or so, and we continue to babble on about people, companies, the formation of +Hivane, IPng, BreizhIX, FrysIX, and more. It's fun learning a bit about my "far west" (France) and +the "far west" in France (Rennes, where BreizhIX is). But, at 13:37 I have gained as much tactical +intelligence as I could, so I decide to take my leave. Thank you Clément for the wonderful +stay! + +I took an Uber from the airport to the city, but I'm definintely taking a train back - it's both +cheaper but more importantly, it's much faster. Punching in CDG in maps, I find that there's a B +metro that goes from the Catacombs at _Denfert Rochereau_ direct to the airport. Slick! The train +ride is easy going and I arrive at _Charles de Gaulle_ at around 14:30. + +I do see that there's another Swiss flight to Zurich, maybe I can switch to that one? But alas, it's +delayed by 2.5hrs already, scheduled now at 17:30, whoops. The flight crew is also sitting on the +chairs, but I see that they eventually leave. And yes, thirty minutes later, the flight is simply +canceled, so I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be on it :) + +I end up watching a few episodes of _Lilyhammer_ and eat a sandwich. I made a small mistake thinking +there would be a larger concourse here, but the gates I'm at are divided into blocks of ten, with +security right at the block, so there's gates 60-69 here, with one sandwich shop and one dutyfree +liquor and cigarette joint, and that's ... it. No bars, no warm meal, nothing. But, there's a power +outlet so my laptop will save me through this hardship. + +One full season of _Lilyhammer_ later, I board LX645 to Zurich. The flight is only 46 minutes, which +I think is pretty cool, and Marina is here to pick me up from the airport, just as I walk out the +door. We drive home and chat about the last few days, and about all the french I learned and all +the frenchmen I met, and the fun we've had. + +I have to get to bed early tonight though, because (a) I am running a sleep deficit and (b) tomorrow +Tim arrives on the sleeper-train from Amsterdam at 08:00. + +## Pictures of the Day + +{{< gallery-category >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-09-29/IMG_1688.JPG" caption="A selfie with Alarig on Clément's couch in Paris, France." >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-09-29/IMG_1689.JPG" caption="The train from the (14th) arrondissement de l'Observatoire to CDG is direct, and that's really nice" >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-09-29/IMG_1691.JPG" caption="The Embraer 195-E2 that brought me to Zurich in 46 minutes" >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-09-29/IMG_1692.JPG" caption="At home, I notice this sunshine on the TV.
