A brief look at today's events. Let's call it team-building and go to bed with a clear conscience. The Norwegians have enjoyed a beautiful October day including both bathing and volleyball.
Tomorrow we'll start working (promise)

Another update from the days already passed by. Our first look at Stanford University, and meeting our Stanford counterparts for the coming Renault challenge. Looking forward to the coming months of project work!
"Welcome to Stanford", walking up Palm Drive towards the Main Quad

After a couple of relaxing days in sunny California, we are starting to get used to the situation. We've had a look at San Francisco, walked a bit around the Stanford campus and we have met our new collaboration partners from Stanford.
Touristic transportation. Lovely mechanical propulsion and a scenic trip across the city.
American Pale Ale in the Californian sun, life is hard.
In other news, our cardboard box (a.k.a PaperBike) have arrived as well. The U.S. customs and border protection just wanted to have a look at it first. The main reason for it's late arrival though, was that our (1x1x0,5m) box couldn't fit on the tiny plane that brought us from Trondheim to Copenhagen on Sunday. It had to go through Oslo as well.

Sunday was traveling day. Flying westward made the day last for 33 hours, it's interesting how much you can get done with that extra bit of time!
Half the team went straight from a night out and directly to the airport, despite this the spirit stayed high all the way. Flying over both Greenland and Canada we got glimpses of beautiful snow covered mountains, poetry to a Norwegian heart!
Flying in over the San Francisco area was another highlight of the trip and from the airport we caught a SuperShuttle to our AirBnB apartment.
Summed up: All is well!

To get to know the team while doing something practical, the work on this years PaperBike has taken place. An intensive 48h effort resulted in...
a duckt-taped box!
What the box hides? Remains to be seen!
