California State University,
Chico
The Chico campus is a very
aesthetically pleasing place to spend time, full of old architecture and
artwork.
The campus also hosts a rose
garden.
Cutting through campus is a
stream that is lined with walking trails.
Hibiscus sp. found flowering
just outside of one of the conference areas.
There are so many old buildings
here, it seemed like I could feel times past.
Of course, this was a
scientific meeting, complete with astounding presentations.
Below you can see the members
of the Mast lab having a splendid time together.

Traveling to San Francisco
After the Chico conference,
Nick Miles and I traveled to San Francisco down the coast. The scenery was gorgeous.
Although, I think we both could
have done with fewer winding roads.
This one being quite tame in comparison to the roads that followed.
Eventually the winding roads
gave way to the Redwoods, lined by large streambeds, and the beautiful trees
themselves.
Nick and I made it to the coast
just in time for the sunset.
However this means that we go no pictures of the coast road. Oh well, I guess that means that IÕll
have to go back.
