 This
January I was all set to take an interim trip to Europe, but after
9-11 all international trips were cancelled. So, when a trip to
the Left Coast opened up I took advantage of the opportunity and
signed up. Nine students, including myself, traveled to Seattle,
Victoria B.C., Vancouver, and San Francisco over a three week
period. We visited businesses and government agencies as well as
taking in all of the sights and just plain having a ton of
fun. We stayed in some great and rather unique hotels and
ate some great meals (some with fish heads none the less...) Alicia
and I took our free day in Vancouver and drove 2 hours north to
Whistler- for the most amazing skiing (and views) ever. Enjoy the
sampling of pics I have up- click the thumbs for larger pics.
