Running a desert resort

It looks like our home is becoming a popular resort among our old friends from college; three weeks after Ho-Yi's visit, Yung-Yao came from Cambridge, UK for a short visit.



We are very happy to see another old friend here; there are just so many things we can talk about, from our old days in college to our current life as a postdoc in biology.

The weekend was extremely busy and fun. Together, we went to:

Saguaro National Park


Rillito River Path


Halloween trick-or-trick at Tucson Electric Park


Artist's market at Plaza Palomino


Kartchner Caverns State Park


Sabino Canyon


Biosphere 2


And of course, we ended the wonderful weekend with our long-running tradition since college, a dumpling feast:


Also because YY received the great news that one of his papers got accepted while he was here (you lucky bastard, how come I never had such good luck when I was taking a vacation), we had a good excuse to enjoy a bottle of nice wine.



So that's pretty much what we have done over the weekend. Now, who's the next? :)

Hey man,

Many thanks again for your hospitality. I bet you will get your forth coming paper(s) accepted while you and your family visiting me in Cambridge. You know it's true! Come on, it's a good opportunity now since GBP against USD is very low now according to XE.COM - 1:1.48!

YY :-)

Great. I'll see if this will fly with my boss: "send me to UK and we'll have another paper". :)
