We had the priviledge of spending the last two weeks up in Vancouver. I (Stephan) had to do my first case study up there, which entailed conducting hour-long interviews at various governmental agencies and private companies. In total I did 11 interviews in the 10 days that I was in Vancouver.
Elsa joined me for about half of that time, and we rented a car to go see some of the sights. This included doing the famous Grouse Grind (a murderous hike up a peak just outside Vancouver - the view was worth it! See the top photo), driving up the breathtaking Sea-to-Sky highway to have a look at the new Olympic village (for the 2010 Winter Olympics) at Whistler, and catching a ferry over to a rainy Victoria.
It was a busy time (not really a holiday), but it was great to get away and see a few of the sights while we had the chance. Vancouver is definitely worth a visit!The next couple of weeks are shaping up to be extremely busy for both of us. Elsa is turning 30 and we're having big party, I have to do my Qualification Exam (quite a big deal in my PhD process), and a number of other random deadlines await. At least we will probably be heading Down-Under in mid November! Watch this space for more on that...
