KB and I are here in exotic Vancouver (sense the sarcasm) where it is beautiful, clean, and the conference presenters are boring! We're presenting in about an hour and although we were initially very nervous about it, the presentations we went to this afternoon thus far had promised to be really engaging. However, people literally read off of their papers. Even though there were beautiful ideas (which I will discuss soon in a longer-with-pictures entry), they got lost in a person being furrowed into their paper. KB and I have no paper to rely on, so we're talking about using humanities integration to create genuine connections and meaningful experiences. It'll be interesting. Then we're going to Stanley Park.
We've walked around the town, appreciated the mountains, and checked out the scenery. Last night, we wandered around most of the evening. Although there are Starbucks cafes on nearly every corner (sometimes on opposite ends of the street, I kid you not), there's something small-town and quaint about the place. CA arrives later tonight and we'll spend the rest of the week going to the aquarium (they have beluga whales!) and taking an airplane/land-in-the-water ride, and going on this amazing suspension bridge and maybe kayaking. It should be interesting.
Right now, we're off for more presenting!
