Trips from March, 2007

One benefit of getting accepted to many graduate schools is the opportunity to travel to all of them at the graduate schools' expense. I decided to combine my trips to UC Davis and Caltech and Lydia, my girlfriend at the time, came with me. This was my first trip to California, and the first time I saw the Pacific Coast while in the US.

We started off our trip in San Francisco, where we wandered around the piers and watched the sun set over the bay. The following day, we rented a car and drove up the coast to Pt. Reyes National Seashore, although the park itself was closed. We followed this up with visits to the Armstrong Redwood State Preserve, Napa/Sonama counties, before finally making it to UC Davis for two nights.

After visiting Davis, we flew down to LA, where we spent time at Caltech and visiting some of Lydia's friends in the area before finally making our way back to the east coast. I've included some of the pictures from the trip, although many were lost due to some hardware issues.
