Wheeee!

I am safely in the US! My friends who I am staying with picked me up at the airport, bless them. They are an awesome couple in their sixties who are basically my American adopted parents. We're going cross-country skiing tomorrow! \o/

I do not actually feel very tired, even though it's 5:30 in the morning Swedish time. Going to bed now though, and hoping to wake up the correct time tomorrow.

Seattle people, if you want to hang out in the beginning/middle of the week, let me know!

I'm looking forward to your visit!

Julia, cabin fever R me

Is there a particular day that would work best for you (or days that would not work)? Inga and I are thinking about going to Mt Rainier, or as close as we come (it seems very snowy still) and I am guessing it would be best logistically to come to you before that? Tell me if I'm wrong, though. Also, we haven't decided if we're going to hang around in Seattle for a while after BP. But I would guess we could come to you sometime in the beginning/middle of the week after the next one?

Anyway, I am so looking forward to meeting you again!

I was just at this little reconstructed wetland area in the middle of Seattle, just a few blocks from where I'm staying, and it was so cool. There were turtles sunning themselves! Turtles are so exotic to me. Also lots of ducks--I will have to get a bird guide, although there were lots of helpful birdwatchers there to help me.

I've been chased down and made to see my doctors on the 26th and the 28th but am otherwise free or at least free-able for the next two weeks.

I was going to try to send you the Mt. Rainier webcam links, but they're all down- and possibly snowed under. I was looking at The Mountain this afternoon, and there's no rock visible anywhere. This is White Pass Summit (http://www.wsdot.com/traffic/cameras/trafficcam.htm?camurl=http://images.wsdot.wa.gov/whitepass/whitepass.jpg) on the south side of Mt.Rainier and the closest webcam to the Park- I-90 is on the north side and well away from the mountain itself.

Julia, we'll hope for not-rain!

Thanks for the link! Will update you with regard to dates when I know more.

Have fun! :)

I am having a great time! I feel a little bit of a tickle in my throat, though, so I am really really hoping I'm not getting a cold.
