[Lvas] Palomar Mountain Observatory

[Martin Suñer Hilario]

Yes, I will arrive somewhat early so I can find my way around CCSN. I look
forward to the outreach sessions that I can participate in with the members
of the society.

It would be great to meet you as well tomorrow night, and I was glad to be
able to chip in my two cents and share my experiences with you. I hope to
see you there.
