Day 3 Video:
Please watch!
The video sums up most of my day, but I will give a written story. I awoke around 8am , showered and had a delicious hotel breakfast. We left promptly after for the Arizona University Campus. It was a dream resort, morelike. We checked out the Museum discussing all the different local native american history. Interesting, with beautiful pottery. Their history is so different than many other cultures. Afterwards, half the group left to go for a hike. The other half I was in stayed and toured some more. First, we went and got some lunch. Sushi at that, my favorite! I ate three whole rolls, I was so hungry. But I am a Sushi champ, so it was no problemo. We meandered some more until we were able to return to the hotel. Where I took a quick nap, then hit up the mall for some supper. Afterwards I got a chance to look at Jupiter for the first time through our small telescope. Super neat and exciting. A great day.
I'm glad you guys had a good time at UoA. If given another opportunity to explore campus and/or sushi shops, I'll be sure to join you.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was your first sushi experience.
ReplyDeleteHi All,
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful trip. Looks like a great time so far. Just wanted to wish you luck and clear skies.
I was in your shoes 13 years ago for the inaugural Carthage astronomy trip. It was a trip I will not forget. I can tell you where we were, what we saw, the research we did at Kitt Peak and the other observatories. It was a tremendous trip and Doug is the best guide you could ask for.
In fact, 13 years later, I still e-mail and ask that guide my astronomy questions as I did earlier today.
Enjoy the rest of your trip. I guarantee you will not forget it.
