We're here

Well, here it is, an attempt at a weblog. I'll try to keep this up for a few weeks and see how it goes. I'm happy to hear any comments or suggestions. Hopefully, this will be a relatively easy and unobtrusive way to keep family and friends up to date without filling your email boxes with lots of unwanted notes. Please don't hold back from contacting us directly - we love to hear your news.

Today marks two weeks in Copenhagen. The move went smoothly so far, although our sea freight is still several weeks from delivery. The cats are here and seem no worse for the plane flight.

Life here is truly a change from Houston, in some ways a model of urban planning. We're having a car shipped over, but now we're not sure what we'll do with it. Our place is in the city center with easy access by train, subway, or bus to all parts of the city and most parts of the country.

We've stayed close to Copenhagen, just taking a day trip to Dragor and another trip to the beach. Mostly we've tried to be outside in our free time with the wonderful (and unusual - I'm told) weather. There are three beautiful parks within easy walking distance of our location that fill up with sun-worshipping Danes when the weather is good.

I'll try to post more (with pictures) in a few days.

Pictures! Pictures! Pictures!

I'm glad the move was smooth, and the cats are intact. (But be careful -- cats will sometimes plot revenge schemes that stretch out for weeks or months before coming to fruition.)

Pictures....

I've learned that when I pack the digital camera for an overseas move, I should remember to bring the UBS cable with it. I think it ended up in the sea freight - due July, but will be in storage until Sept :(

Nice! Thanks. They bring back lots of memories from ouir time in Scandinavia. The Little Mermaid has not aged at all! :-) Enjoy the summer and the sun!
