Salina

I've been busy ever since I got to Salina.  Tomorrow will be only my third day off since I got here!  Here are some pictures from the past three weeks.

On Tuesday, I tried to make one of those sun-viewing devices with John, a co-worker of mine from NOAA.  We were trying to view the transit of Venus across the sun:

This weekend Salina hosts the Smoky Hill River Festival.  I went with John (pictured above) and Armin, and we saw a couple of bands and ate some festival food.  The closing act were the Steep Canyon Rangers, a bluegrass band with a great fiddle player!
