I just received an e-mail from Diego (my Fulbright friend from Chile who is studying astronomy at Harvard):



Hi Ieva,

It's been a long time uh?

I'm right now in Hawaii (it is 1:44 AM and is your 7:44 AM -if you're in Boston). I'm at the observatories in the top of volcano Mauna Kea.

Nothing more amazing could I imagine! A note from a friend at the top of volcano in the middle of the Pacific observing the formation of stars...
