Books

When I told Shane that I was bringing 6 books (I forgot that I actually had 7) because I was going to be away for 5 weeks, he said "You know, they have bookstores in California." Yeah, I told him:
I know.

A Warm Welcome Home

I have the bestest friends in the whole wide world.

GRRRRR!!

Naturally, the day I get a beautiful view of the Vancouver skyline, visit chinatown, walk along the seawall, go to Granville Island and Emily Carr, go to the science museum and build a tower of blocks to the ceiling and let two 8 year olds dive head first into the tower to knock it over, that's the day I forget to bring my camera. Grrrr! Oh well, here's the picture of Noah
I would have put up on Friday.

Canada

I miss LSA a whole lot, but I still got a little lift looking out at those mountains and being back in Vancouver.

Loss

Uncle Jim did tonight. I found out after saying goodbye to all the people I met here at LSA.

Variety

Jingxia had over Albertans old and new (see below) for dinner tonight. I don't think we expected a 9-dish feast: red bean, eggplant, tofu, cashew, mushroom, beef, pork, chicken, and shark-fin soup. You can see how amazing it was.
(you can also see how few people obeyed my silly-face directive.)

Censored!

I got some cool pictures of kids playing dodgeball on campus, but one of the counsellors asked me not to publish them. Boo-urns. Oh well, this was the view I spent more of my day looking at anyway.
