Well, as hypothesized in my last blog it has been a busy week

and I've not accomplished much other than work. I went for coffee with Jason, attended the International Banquet, and went for several walks with the pooch but that's about it. The upside is that I did get a lot done and I'm going shopping with John to buy gear tomorrow morning.

That is always fun and we'll be able to get through a few things on the agenda for the Haida Gwaii trip. I guess the one great thing I was able to do was submit my research proposal for committee review. That gets me a lot closer to being finished my first year at Acadia as I will defend it on April 6th. So, yes I'm getting there slow but sure.

The International Banquet was quite nice and I was able to take some great shots of some of the participants in the traditional

clothing.

They are so colourful and some of the entertainment included traditional dances from Mauritius and I think Africa, but I'm not sure. Overall, it was great and I sat with a couple of young gentlemen at the back of the room. Herbie is from the Bahamas and Victor is from China.

On Sunday I went to Hannigan's park again to walk with Finnigan and took a couple of really nice photos of the sun reflecting in the water. The top picture

on the right is an example. Some of them turned exceptionally nice actually and I like it more for the fact that it is a different approach to taking a sunset picture. Rather unique. The rest of the pictures are from the banquet to share with you some of the great outfits that were worn. Most of the people are from China, Japan, Pakistan, and Korea.

I hope you have a great week and I'll hopefully be on time with my blog next week as well. I still can't believe I'm going to be leaving for the Haida Gwaii so soon. It will be fun to describe my next adventures for you and take photos in such an amazing place to share with you. Should be fun.
