Edutainment

Our hosts took us out for a night on the Nijmegen, where we got to see what I want all of my walls to look like:

...while visiting the museum built around Nijmegen's oldest wall-slash-cesspit:

They had pretty scary monster statues, too, except they turn out to be plague-doctor statues:

Then it was off to dinner at the armory, where everything comes with goat cheese and every beer is Belgian:
Then a few of us went out to chase bikes to a 600 year old pub. I can think of few better descriptions of Holland.

Hearth and Home

Paula was kind enough to have the department over for an American Thanksgiving potluck full of delicious food, warm friends, and good conversation. And so her cat could video-tape our butts.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Kyle, Bekka and Olivia hosted a delicious Thanksgiving party! The trick to taking candid photos is to keep taking them until people forget that you're taking pictures. Until _most_ people forget, anyway.

I miss Matsuya so much

Banff was full of beautiful views, as usual.

Symphony is now in effect

Despite not knowing who Maestro (nee Fresh Wes) is, Bekka has the only rap-sack backpack I've ever seen.

You live in the Universe, but you never do these things.

The AGA lives up to the hype, I'd say.
