Hi everyone! I have had a crazy busy summer working, training, and traveling. I was pretty hyped to be in Burlington (the best city, and maybe perhaps the only city shhh) and in Vermont (the best state, duh). I had some good times with my sister Quincy and had a lot of fun training with MNC and my fellow pugs.
For the first part of the summer I worked on a poster presenting some of the lab research I was helping with on river water quality in Cuba. I got to present my poster in Montreal which was a nerve-wracking yet fun experience. Later in the month I traveled to Cuba to get more data!
After I finished working as a lifeguard at a Parks and Rec summer camp, my family traveled to Italy and Spain. We saw tons of Greek and Roman ruins and ate many a meal of delicious pasta. Quincy and I hiked some epic routes, including up the two volcanoes Mt. Etna and Mt. Vesuvius.
I am so excited to get back on campus and I can't wait to train with y'all. See you soon!
