I haven't had time to write in detail about my work down here, but they say that a picture is worth a thousand words. So here are several thousand:

The Pampa Amarilla, where our observatory is located, is a very beautiful place. Located in Western Argentina, the Andes can be seen from nearly anywhere. Lately, most of my work has been conducted at our Central Laser Facility (CLF), which is a twenty-nine mile drive away from our office building. Yes, the experiment really is that big. The contraption that you see on the left part of the roof is the steering mechanism for the laser, which I have been helping to install this week. There were some stunning sunsets at the CLF last Thursday and Friday. And just after sunset, on Wednesday, the Moon and Venus made quite a pretty sight in the sky.

In other news, a stray kitten has been spotted around the office building. She is young and quite friendly. She lets people pet her and if you tease her with your fingers, she will bat at them, but she knows not to extend her claws. She will also chase string; I got her to chase one up the wheel of a bicycle. It was adorable -- I want to take her home with me!
