Banff

I was in Banff, Alberta last week for the WADS (Algorithms and Data Structure Symposium) conference. My presentation went reasonably well. Here's a nice summary of some of the talks by David Eppstein.

Banff is a located in the Rockies and is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Its a valley surrounded by mountains, some of which are snow-capped, even in summer! I got a chance to hike to the top of a small mountain. Also went on an excursion trip to a couple of glaciar lakes: Lake Louise and Lake Moraine. They are both spectacular! Whats amazing about both these places is that you can actually see the glaciars that feed these lakes. Here are some pictures:
