...and so the train left New Orleans...yes I took the Amtrak all the way to DC (24 hours), stayed with a friend in Gaithersburg MD, then took the 3-hour bus ride to Manhattan. I guess I just wanted to check out our transit system. I had a stopover in DC to apply for my Austrian Visa for the summer and also took a picture of my future home. I made it to NYC just in time for some cheesecake, oh and there was a geography conference somewhere in there. The NYC AAG was my first chance at presenting my initial results for study one of my dissertation. I modeled the maximum sustained and peak wind gust for 18 different European windstorms using a kriging approach and shared the results in the Climate Specialty Group Student Paper competition.
