USA October 2018

I went to Boulder, Colorado, during Friday 12th October to Friday 19th, to attend two meetings. The second of these was CFMIP at NCAR, which Paulo also attended. Afterwards, he and I went on a road trip, via Yellowstone National Park, and finishing at Salt Lake City on Friday 26th, whence we flew to Newark to stay in Princeton. On the final two days we visited New York City.
