May 11, 2006, I flew into Seattle to meet my friend Nathan. The next morning we drove up to Vancouver to visit the University of British Columbia and see the sites over the next two days. Aside from some morning drizzle, the weather was gorgeous and the times were great. I tended to take pictures of plants—the Pacific Northwest has some knockout flora. There was also an inordinate amount of silliness, both documented and whew, off the record. You've been warned.
