Juli's here

Another warm day in Sevilla. My first day post paper submission and I spent it working on some STEM data from Whitman and reading an intro machine learning textbook. The STEM data is really just an excuse to polish my pandas skills. Even though I've been away from it for a while, I still remember most of it. Even better, some of the more abstract stuff like groupby() and merge() are a bit clearer to me.

I walked Laura to school, then back over to the gym. Here's the view from Puente de San Telmo:



Rode the stationary bike for about an hour. I really like their bikes.

Laura went to Costco after her class. I hung out here to meet Juli. She got here about as expected. She's pretty tired from a long trip starting in Walla Walla. I just showed her to her room, gave her a brief bathroom tutorial and withdrew. Hopefully she can get a good night's sleep--although the bar/cafe across the street will be going full on until about 12:30am. I recommended earplugs, but that was not necessary, she came prepared.

Laura's bus from Costco broke down, so she had to get off and wait for the next one. Needless to say, she's running a bit late.
