These were the early days of our relationship and we were both working multiple jobs. Even on a tiny budget we were able to have a great trip to celebrate my good friend and professor from grad school, Gabrielle’s North American wedding reception. We biked around the city, checked out the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden, and saw the Bodies exhibit at Science World.

Enjoying some peace in the middle of the city.
