After being in Scotland for the fall semester, Eliza accepted an intern position with Michael Green Architecture, a firm in Vancouver. In January, she moved there for eight months. For my birthday, Jim surprised me with a trip to go see her in July. I have put off writing about it, because I don't really know how to capture it all in sentences. I made two reels that can be seen here and here, but maybe a list of words will help.

the farmer's market challenge
the walks amongst the tallest trees
the flower shops
the shops along the streets

the way Eliza figured out places to live
the precious friends she made
the big and small adventures she went on
how God is with her wherever she goes
