This weeks post again got delayed. This time my excuse, work-travel! I am attending the annual NeurIPS (NIPS as it was called in the old days) conference in beautiful Vancouver (see image below).

Over the long week-end break, AVI Family took a road-trip along Oregon coastline. Here are some images from the trip.
