Daniel then delivered his 3 minute speech about the research he is doing and was able to make some connections after with other researchers. That night we went to the bay and watch people windsail. We then went to the campus of Stanford University, it was so beautiful!




Thursday checked out of our hotel and went to the conference until about 1pm. We then left and drove straight to Kaysville. We arrived in Kaysville at 1:30am. The next day we went to a Bee's Baseball game with the Garrett's
