La Jolla BBQ

I think I already mentioned that the sea turtle meeting has been going on in town for the past week.  It's been like a little NC reunion (though I shamefully didn't get ANY photos of NC pals).  Many of the people we knew from Duke, NOAA and the NCWRC were in SD all week for the meeting.  I managed to make it out to one of the poster sessions and got to catch up with a few people, but others were too busy with the organization of the meeting to have any social time until after the close of the conference....our good bud, Bryan was one of those.  Yesterday was my last chance to catch up with him at all.  Luckily our friends Jeremy and Kelly had a BBQ at their La Jolla place and had a bunch of folks over.  It was the perfect day for a cookout at the coast....just lovely.

Bryan finally made it to the bbq, but it was about 15 minutes before I had to leave to go to another party. Didn't get to spend too much time with him, but at least we got to catch up briefly.  This just means that he, Jess and Leander have to come back for a visit soon!
