Gallery | Wrong Road to Grenoble

In 2002 I had appointments with Texas Instruments at Nice in the morning and ST Micro in Grenoble / Crolles (both in France) in the afternoon. My rep and driver, a young strapping Glaswegian, took a short cut across the French Alps. We turned out to be the only guys in suits on this dirt road at 4,000 meters elevation and we were hours and hours late of course. But the French Alps were spectacular, and the customer, eager to see us, kindly stayed late. To top the day the customer turned out to be a stunningly beautiful woman PhD physicist, just the ticket for our suffering Glaswegian.
