Meaning this picture could be taken

The next fortnight included stops in several packed Aussie stadiums & the prime minister’s office in the company of a rather famous man, a volcanic hike in New Zealand & consoling distraught Americans, & a drive across the Atacama desert in Chile between three epic observatory sites

More memories to follow … ️
