Off to the land of Bircher and Basel 2

August 5, 2009 · By Monica Shaw

Breakfast: Bircher Muesli with Apricots and Pecans

How exciting is this? Tomorrow morning I head to Switzerland, the birthplace of my beloved Bircher muesli! I’m flying into Basel airport then heading to Interlaken for a long weekend of mountain walking and jaw dropping at the great Eiger. I’m very excited, and have two bowls of Bircher on the soak for the trip in. I’ll be back next week with stories of cereal and Swiss Alps. And in case you don’t get the Basel 2 reference, don’t worry about it – it’s a reference to my previous life as a banker. Can you imagine?

    Neat blog, I read your about page and when you get back, I’d love to hear more details about your project and what kind of data analysis you’re doing, if they’re public of course. I’m a mathematician and I love this kind of stuff!
