So I'm on vacation in Puerto Rico!
My parents invited me along this year, and since I didn't have anything crazy on my plate, I went.
It sure is a lot nicer than back home right now, my New England instincts are v confused. Why is it so nice? When is it going to get very bad? Why isn't it awful outside? What's that blindingly bright disc in the sky and who put it there?
Today we went to Arecibo and saw the Arecibo Radar Telescope, which is (as of Sept 2016) the second largest telescope of it's kind in the world. Thanks China for wresting that title from us.
Side note: going to go look at the telescope was made extra cool by the fact that I just finished reading The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu.
Anyway, that's all I have for now, can't wait to go back home to a real computer and not just my iPad mini/ble keyboard combo.
