This year, we wanted to change location for the party.  We found a great place several miles North of last year's party at Leo Carillo Beach Park, with beautiful trees for shade and a much wider sandy beach.  That led to a spectacular beach football game.  But... let's not forget first about Ed's famous burgers (check him out also last year) and the relaxed atmosphere of that day... (for a change from the lab, that's the boss speaking...).

Getting started...	...under a sycamore tree...
...the beach at left...	...and right...
...the mountains in back make for a great	background...
Ed getting started...	Shijun and Wenyuan
The chef in his full splendor (and some of you	know what's hiding... I can say no more...)
Mike's looking cool...       and Angelo always	finds himself in pleasant company...
Shubhaga and Satish still in wedding bliss	and running away from water again!
... the football game got really involved...
... OUCH !
... believe me, that water was still really cold!
... got in, but didn't stay long...	Beatriz and Miguel
