Discover America visits SIO

Thanks to Jesse and Natalia for their help yesterday with the Discover America program run by the US State Department; SIO successfully hosted 35 foreign ambassadors and their spouses for an educational tour of the Scripps Pier. It was quite an experience. Jesse and I successfully dodged the photographers, but here’s a photo of Natalia talking science (presumably) with the ambassador of Cabo Verde and his wife. Downside: not a single diplomat or spouse wanted to go swimming, despite dolphins and balmy water temps!
