Poster Session

Dad crashed the poster session. I told him to go ask people "Can you tell me about your poster?". He learned a lot. Lol.

A Little Recruiting

An Afternoon Outside

We climbed two more of Auckland's 53 volcanoes, saw the beach, and got some incredible views of Rangitoto Island (the very volcano-looking mountain offshore).

Together with Sydney, this tour of Oceania was a truly unforgettable experience! I hope you enjoyed journeying with me through my photos.
