	I am in Kelowna, British Columbia now. Man the Okanagan is just as beautiful as I remember it. We had a fun drive from Berkeley up to BC. It took a while at the border since I had to give customs a list of everything we were bringing across, both now and in later trips. Tomorrow I'll visit UBCO and check out my lecture spaces etc. Should be fun. The outage seems to have gone smoothly so I can hopefully start doing more SETHI and GALFA science remotely.
