Architecture, Omaha, and Bill Gates.

So last week was fairly eventful. After returning to Victoria from Tofino, I had 1.5 days of classes then a quick turnaround to the airport for a weekend adventure. At school we went to the provincial Legislature building to snap some shots, as seen here:






Then, on Thursday evening I flew back to Calgary to say hi to Mum and Dad, then Dad and I woke up at 3:30am to head to the airport to fly to Omaha, Nebraska. We had a stopover in Chicago and arrived in Omaha in the early afternoon. The airport is ridiculously close to downtown, and we were at our hotel within 20 minutes of landing.

We looked around and checked out the Old Market and Durham Rail Station, then my older brother and sister flew in from London (via Chicago) to meet us.

The highlight of the trip was going to the Woodstock of Capitalism, the Berkshire Hathaway AGM, where I sniped some photos of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. Both of them are, undubitably, righteous dudes.







That curvy shot is a bridge that crosses the Missouri River, which divides Nebraska and Iowa. We walked to Iowa and back. It was thrilling.
