I flew from Monroe to Santa Fe. Then I had to drive to Los Alamos. I enjoyed the views along the way. But before getting to Los Alamos, I had to climb uphill on the narrow road by the cliff. That was so scary!
This was the rental car I used on this trip. It was Nissan Sentra
I did not have any chances to take picture during the first two days. I had to meet with so many people, and gave a talk about the work I have done. So on the last day, I took the pictures around the hotel instead.
There are many things happened on this trip. First my phone was useless since there was no AT&T signal even at Santa Fe airport. Fortunately I had just bought a smartphone from my friend and I could use wifi at the hotel and the lab.
Second I got lost on the first day. I went straight to the lab after landing at Santa Fe to meet with people without stopping by the hotel. That evening I tried to find the way to the hotel, but my GPS messed up. The hotel was new. My GPS did not know it. I ended up asking somebody to show me the way.
The last day, after flying back to Monroe, I was about to drive home, but my little car could not start. The battery was dead. At first I did not know that. Everything was gone. Even the central lock did not work. I asked an officer at the airport for help. She came to my car with a starter kit. After a jump-start, my car was able to run again. I was so relieved.
