The Light at the End of the Tunnel



Home again! After 6 weeks in Portugal (where the above photo was captured as we waited for a train from Lisbon to Aveiro) we have happily returned to Amsterdam. Great food, great people, 30 degree days and the occasional plastic hammer filled night will make this a trip to remember.

The rest of the field work went off without a hitch. Our group was very fortunate to have significant rain during the trip (aren't hydrologists odd?), which means that we have great data from our streams and rain gauges. True hydrologists like Maarten and Vincent were terribly excited by the heavy thunderstorms that swept the area. We, on the other hand, were terribly excited about not having to wash the rental cars before we returned them.

Now our attentions focus on the report writing (thanks for the analyses, Borris!) and catching up everything we missed while we were away. It looks like we brought some sun back with us from Portugal, so I am not so sure it will very productive weekend :) Oh well, two weeks is LOTS of time (right????)

Cheers!
Kyle!
