This poor ignored blog has been silent for a few days (and less prolific before that) while I have totally and unashamedly ignored it for the world beyond and outside the computer screen (well almost). Traveling to Seattle has been great and the experiencing both city and suburbia life in America has been an eye opener.
An added bonus was coming here during the presidential campaign so the experience of politics in the making was part of the trip. Most of the time is spent sightseeing, visiting friends, relaxing, shopping and experiencing the US. I have been here a few times before but always as a tourist in big cities not as a part of everyday life. For example Friday night football at the local high school, to the outsider this is a marvelous experience.

The highlights of the trip include grocery shopping in so amazingly overstocked stores it is almost frightening, a Jackson Browne concert, good food, great sushi, going up in the Space Needle… you know, the turist stuff. Anyway this blog will not be back to normal for a while longer but if you really want to see what’s happening I am posting lots of pictures on my flickr page.
