San Francisco, APA 2007

This past August I went to the APA (American Psychological Association) convention in San Francisco where a group of women and I presented some research we had done together. It was wonderful to be able to go to APA again (was my third and probably final time for a while), and I loved being able to see San Francisco. I don't believe I've ever been to CA, so it was quite an experience. Helen, the professor I work for (and my supervisor on this research project), used to live there, so she enthusiastically took us around the city each night. Thanks to Maria, I have these pictures to share with you all.


This was one of the famous cable cars in San Fran. Apparently they're the only ones left in the USA. We took it down to Fisherman's Wharf for dinner.

Here we are overlooking the famous Alcatraz Prison.


And here is the actual military fortress, Alcatraz, which was in use from 1859-1934.


This night we went to the Cliff House restaurant overlooking the ocean (at least, I believe... can't remember which night was the ocean and which night the bay). As we sat at dinner within a matter of minutes we went from being able to see all the water and shore to having the fog completely block our view! It was amazing and beautiful.


And last, but certainly not least, here we all are in front of our poster that we presented. For those interested, it was under Division 43, Family Psychology (there are many divisions at APA). Starting from the left is Helen, Lindsay, me, and Maria.

Thanks Maria for all the photos!
