After an intense week, we went hiking, a group event only occurs every seven years,  to regroup our thoughts and appreciate the fall colors at the end tail of the Fall season.

We walked along the Jones Fall trail by the creek. We saw wildlifes: deers, ducks, other birds and bugs. The weather was mild and the sun was light. It was a good afternoon on Friday.

The nature gave us serenity. With the recovered peace of mind, we gathered at a local brewery to share our thoughts.

With the special beers of pumpkin flavors, we looked forward to a hectic winter of travels, presentations and more lab works. Hooray!
