6/14 - Canberra

At the Canberra airport, we were met by our eager and friendly hosts, Nancy and Charis, from the Australian Academy of Sciences (AAS). We barely fit all of our copious belongings into a trailer behind the bus, and headed for our home for the next three days: the Australian National University. Instead of passing out in our 3-person apartments, we were kept awake with an action packed day of tea, more tea, Australian barbecue, and getting a bank account. Depsite my lack of sleep, I managed to stay up until 11 pm. Then I finally got a full night’s sleep for a change.

Me and all my stuff
