We did our quick trip north today.
Shopping, voting, soccer, frisbee and flag football.
That pretty much sums up our time in Vancouver.
Oh – and seeing how turned around I could get at Ashlan’s dorm.

The dorm has lots of angles. I guess they do that to make it interesting, or some math major was trying to figure out how to cut a pie into five pieces with a straight edge and a string (something like that).
Here are a few pics of her dorm suite.
When you walk into the suite there are 10 doors to choose from! (really only 9, since you just came in one of them.) Oh but turn around quickly and try to go back out the way you came in. Which door would you choose? I would probably go for the one with the Exit sign, but that would be wrong. Yes it does exit you from the room, onto a stairwell. It’s even the same stairwell you just climbed. It’s just in a different place on the stairwell than you used to get to the door that allowed you to enter the suite. –

3 more doors

These suites are considerably different than my MSU rooms.
There are 6 pod bays that each house one girl. Cozy would be a good word.

Then there is the common area – kitchen/dining/living room. Cozy would be a good word here as well. They even have a cute triangular balcony (remember the angle thing). But I don’t think all six could get on the balcony at once, even if they were all standing up. It appears to function as a recyle area and cell phone quiet space.

Anyway, a good trip with minimal border waits, dry roads and only a few other drivers.
