Heyho, whaddya know, Britta here finally and only a week before we/I leave. Wow, I move slow. Just a post to say there's a new Flickr badge on the left of this blog--the second one (on the bottom) is a link to MY photos, of which there are a zillion. We've been using my camera mostly (because it's new and small), and I have a trigger-happy little finger. Check them out, if you get a chance.

All's well here, had a splendid time last night at Midsommar with Mikaela and 75 other random young Swedes. They know how to do it up here--lots of eating, games, drinking, hugs, dancing. Cannot believe I'm leaving so soon--I've fallen in love with this place and would give anything to stay. Alas, moving and real life calls. Boohoo.

Professor's birthday today, mine was last week (grey hairs and all). To health, travel, love, safety, another grand year. Thanks for keeping track of us on this blog--I'm talking the fam into keeping up with it. Cheers! Skål!

PS--the picture is a preview of a post to come on our fabulous Ireland adventure. What a gorgeous country! (And for pics of Midsommar, check out my Flickr site.) Love!
