I spent a few days for work at the Sorbonne Université Campus Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris. The campus is a really interesting architecture.
Lots of open spaces and light.
Big courtyards between the interconnected buildings.
Flying from Vancouver to Paris
On my way to Paris for work, I hopped a ride on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner out of Vancouver, BC. This was the fourth time this year that I have been on a Dreamliner.
Last fall I rode along the road at the edge of the water on my way down to Vancouver from further north in BC on my Honda Pacific Coast motorcycle.
Looking back toward BC.
Beautiful valleys between the mountains in British Columbia.
This is the best view I’ve ever had out of an airplane bathroom.
British Columbia is gorgeous this time of year.
Flying North to Canada
I had a window seat on my way north from San Francisco to Vancouver. My itinerary took me via Canada to get to France for a work trip.
Flying over Portland, Oregon.
Somewhere south of Seattle. Funny-looking lakes.
I think that might be Tacoma?
Looking toward the Olympic Peninsula and the Hood Canal where I did a lot of scuba diving over the years.
All the islands out in the Puget Sound.
Crossing into Canada. Land on the far left in this photo is on a peninsula and is part of the USA. Land on the right is in Canada. Crazy!
Coming in for a landing in Vancouver with the big mountains toward Whistler on the horizon.
