We have record temperatures, obviously the highest for June for 250 years! Well, at least that means I’m not imagining things… 🙂

The high point of today was when I was walking back to uni between classes, eating a yummy Sundae ice cream with chocolate sauce (from McDonald’s – my secret vice this year). I was walking up the hill from the market square, savoring the deliciously cold and tasty ice cream, when something spoken in English drifted to my ear. It made me smile — for two reasons: For one I enjoyed the feeling of being somewhere else, on vacation, where people don’t speak Swiss German. And at the same time I liked the thought that people from elsewhere come to Basel and get to know my beautiful city.

It was just one of these moments… Later, I sat sweating in my Salome class, the whole concept of my paper just having been overthrown by the teacher, but for some reason, it wasn’t so bad.
