Get to Know Each Other
On December 7, nine brave post docs woke up early on a Saturday morning, dressed for snow hiking, and set out to explore Blue Hills Reservation for a 3 mile hike. There was plenty of snow and ice, steep ascents and descents, but when we reached the Observatory it was an amazing sight to see. Marvelous views of Boston in the distance, slopes covered with snow, and green colors surprisingly still dominating the landscape.
