Started this morning checking out of the hotel and heading over to the hauptbahnhoff (train station) where I dropped my bags into a locker. I then went to the Landsmuseum across the street - this is a Swiss National museum that covers the history of Switzerland. There was a really cool tin sioldier set up, she's cribbing a key siege of a town with over 40000 soldiers, a series on the changin 'living room' ; some from medieval times to ones representing the decades since the turn of the 1900's.
After, I headed over to the train to catch the IC towards Chur. It was easy to tell the numbers headed to the conference, as first they were the ones carrying the poster tubes, then we were the ones all headed 'en masse' from the train in Landauart to the. Connecting train to Kosters, then to the bus to Davos (since the train tracks under construction). They seemed to be ready nor the numbers as there were three busses waiting. No problems checking in, though rain came down all afternoon.
Checked in to the conference, and headed to the first session with no time to spare. Posted my poster at the coffee session, so am set to go for tomorrow afternoon. Dinner was in a beer garden, where we were greeted with the Swiss horns playing as we headed into the tent. Bratwurst, cheese and meat for sinner - little fruit or vegetable in sight - in fact one guy said he grabbed the garnish just so he could have some greens...
20 min walk back to the hotel, then recharge for tomorrow!
