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.

going down on the gondola

visiting Whistler

the Olympic rings

waiting for the concert

hearing The Sheepdogs

visiting UBC 

the farmer's market challenge

the walks amongst the tallest trees

the flower shops

the shops along the streets

the evening concerts Jim and Eliza went to

how active the city is

the greenery everywhere

the walk to the lighthouse

visiting Granville Island

seeing Eliza's workplace

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
