iPhone Photos between Salt Lake City and St. Louis.

I flew from Salt Lake to St. Louis today and it was great weather for taking photos out the window!  Check it out!  Taken with my iPhone 6; in airplane mode, of course.

Here are my favorite photos from Mesa Verde National Park and Aztec Ruins National Monument from last week.

Train to Denver (Again)

I am taking the train from Provo to Denver again, much like I did in January 2011 to attend the AEA Meetings.  This time I'm leaving on Wednesday morning and coming back on Saturday.  I'll be going with Chase Coleman, one of my undergraduate students here at BYU, who is presenting a paper of ours at the Western Social Science Association (WSSA) Meetings.  The ride should be fun, albeit long.  It leaves Provo around 4:00 a.m., but the return from Denver is a more reasonable 8:00 a.m.  Look for a trip report when I get back.

Train from Provo to Denver, January 2011

Back in 2005, when I first came to Seoul to teach, I met Eddy Berry, a professor at Utah State University.  She told me about taking Amtrak from Salt Lake City to Denver and I decided if I ever got the chance I was going to take the trip too.

Since the annual American Economics Association Meeting were in Denver this last January, I decided that Yeongmi and I would get there by train.  The trip was a lot longer than driving, but the scenery was fantastic.
