Reflection

Summer was such a busy season! Taking the time to recap everything would require many blog posts. So instead I'll squeeze everything into a photoessay so as to keep you entertained with thousands of virtual words. Don't worry, I'll still have some real words so that you're not too entertained.



Vancouver: The final frontier. Despite Adrian's insistence on showing me the intersection of Main and Hastings, Vancouver is a great, relaxing city with a lot of natural beauty, when it's sunny. It's also full of the tastiest Chinese food (and girls!) I've ever seen.



San Francisco: Under the guise of an Apple conference, I went in June. What a refreshing perspective it gave me! Must have been the sea breeze.



Calgary: Despite the, um, colorful wildlife (see picture), it was a fun, quaint town with a lot of natural beauty. Good friends, good food, great steak!



Around Washington: The pic is from Snoquamie Falls. There are so many places to explore. This was one of the first things we did. And the most unexpected part: fresh oysters, $10 for two dozen!



ECC/Genesis: A walk on the spiritual side of life. I felt like we learned a lot about God and faith and gained a deeper understanding of Christianity. Or maybe I just had a lot to learn.



Safeco Field: What summer would be complete without seeing the Jays lose? At least the hot dogs were good.



Boeing: The launch of the 787, which was apparently completely hollow inside. Thanks to Mark for the invitation. I managed to get some great shots because they mistook me for a press photographer and waved me to the front of the line. Asian guy with a camera? Let him through!



Ontario: We went to the beach, hung out, played some Wii. Just like old times. What can I say? Absence really does make the heart go yonder.



Skydiving: Yeah, I know I just posted about it, but I jumped out of a plane so I think I deserve to post about it twice!



And just last weekend, Tiger Mountain. Not as steep or as long as Banff. When we got to the top, the birds ate out of our hands like a nerdy white guy picking up in Tokyo.
