Social@eso.org

During my first years in Garching, ESO had a very active group of colleagues, organising all kinds of events: going to the movies, going out for a drink, board games nights, mountain tours, grill parties, etc. Nowadays the social@eso.org mailing list is hardly used anymore. Here are some pictures from "good old times" and of the joint farewell party of Joel, Elise, Vanessa and me.
