I have three half-started posts blinking at the top of this page..

And this one isn’t one of them.

 So now that we have established that I have serious problems finishing stuff that I started, (You might have had the idea about 4 months after I stopped posting due to lack of time.) we can move on to more.. eh.. other stuff.

Well, I do actually have a good excuse for not posting in July: I was sleeping in a car (aka “without internet access”) for three weeks touring the westcost of the USA with two friends of mine. That was quite amazing. I met them in San Francisco (They had started out in Seattle where Vicky was an au-pair for a year) where we stayed at a family whom my parents knew quite well for a few days which was absolutely wonderful. We toured San Francisco during the day and stayed at their place on the evenings talking and eating - really great. They put us up at their relatives place who were extremely nice as well and so we had a great time there. After that we went on to Los Angeles, staying at the place of a friend of my dad’s, who drive us around LA the following days. We saw Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air and a lot of other stuff I can’t remember just now. Oh! Universial Studios - amazing!

Then we went on to San Diego (which I would have liked to explore more thoroughly) for a day which we spent at SeaWorld (great, but I still think I would’ve prfered the city itself). We left San Diego in the evening to head on to Las Vegas (hot, extremely hot. really.) and then went on to Salt Lake City (not as hot as Las Vegas, but quite boring actually).

The following two days were not that exciting cause we spent them reading in a park at the Columbia River and then we went on to Ephrata, WA where we became (locally) famous. But this is a story for another time..

After Ephrata, we left for Seattle where we spent the last 5 days of our trip. I got to know a few really nice people there, saw Seattle at night from the SpaceNeedle and from an awesome view point and bought around a billion CDs.

 

 

 

Yeah, I’m planning another trip already.

 

Apart from that I have managed to do a lot of catching up since I returned:

I cought up on all my web-comics, TV (which I normally do not watch, so it was all the more interesting to “catch up” on that), a lot of newspapers, magazins and books and friends, family and stuff. A very productive two weeks I guess. (That is if you forget that I feel that I ought to do a bit of catching up on physics, but we will forget that for the moment.. )

And the best thing is: I’ll be flying to Canada on Friday! :D
