@geraineon hehe it was a gift so I’m sure you can buy it

Many of my days in Monterey kick off here. It’s the coffee spot near work I tend to have breakfast meetings at, and also the mid point stop on my bike ride there.

Some days I feel like I’m in a John Steinbeck novel

@skinnylatte Does this mean you have their seal of approval?

@skinnylatte I just wanna say I am really glad your bike got stolen a while back (you got it back, so I don't feel bad about saying it :-)). Because that's how you got boosted into my timeline and your posts have brought me so much joy since, with all the food talk, and the doggie & cat pics, and now the aquarium ... thanks for sharing!

@lipow oh! So random. I’m glad we connected too

@skinnylatte Sometimes it's really funny how the world works. Also, Antje Boetius, the German scientist who is coming to the aquarium as the MBARI president and CEO (https://www.mbari.org/news/mbari-names-antje-boetius-as-next-president-and-ceo/) used to live & work near here and I once almost bumped into here in a narrow hallway on the way to a lecture, so if you narrowly miss bumping into here some day think of that

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@lipow oh wow! Everyone is very excited she’s coming here for sure.

More jelly

@skinnylatte Took some young people to the Vancouver Aquarium last summer, and this two year old was utterly entranced by the jellies.

@Plumbert love how magical it is for so many people

Can’t believe I get to see penguins while I’m at work

@skinnylatte
I’m still jealous

@skinnylatte That is the most beautiful aquarium I visited so far. I am sure you will enjoy your new work so much! I have so good memories from Monterrey, when attending the International Semantic Web Conference there in 2018 (http://iswc2018.semanticweb.org/). We visited the Sequoya parks and some other beautiful places with my wife, and met very nice people around. Your pictures made my day!

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@daniel i'm glad you have such great memories here!

[apbblue@thepit.social]

@skinnylatte You look so happy!!!
