"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Day of the Pine ProcessionaryClimbed Punta della Capella from Col de Verde. Lots of clouds on the summit and the remaining impression I will keep from this hike is that I walke short-pantedly through bushes with Pine Processionaries. Later opened the car window to find that the caterpillars had paraded across the window frame and I developped bois and rashes which kept bugging me for the next three weeks.
