| The United States probably don't need any introduction. Although Europeans tend to be critical about American issues, I think it's hard to deny that the US harbour some ofthe most diverse cities and national parks of the world. So for holidays, it's a wonderful place to visit. We visited California for holidays in 2004 to enjoy cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco and the National Parks in the Sierra Nevada. More recently, in April 2009, we visited the east coast for a conference for our work in Woods Hole (South of Boston). In addition, we combined the trip with visits to several labs on the east coast in an attempt to find a Post-Doc position once we've finished our PhD. |
