Day 27a (Last day at USGS!)

Well, it is finally here... the end of the road for the "west coast" of CA (will have another day or 2 of prep and travel in CA - but things are drawing to an end)...


Today I gave a seminar to the lab group at USGS (they seemed to apprecaite an east coast perspective on all things NASTY in the NY/NJ harbor)....


I also had to bit farewell to Cindy Brown (she was such a great host!) and say my good byes to other USGS-types (i.e., Dan and Marie).


It was certainly a productive 2.5 weeks and was, at least the way i see it, WELL worth the time and effort!


We'll see if any BIGGER projects develop out of my visit, but I'm hopeful that the Bay Area has NOT seen the last of me (and even MORE hopeful that the next time I visit I'll have Jen, Erin and William with me!)....


I also had to take one more photo opt... this is an ice cream shop that erin and i used to stop at on our way from USGS to picking up Jen at Sun Microsystems (just south of Menlo Park) on the way home from work...
