In November, George and I set off for two months of family and friends, long days in the car, fast food, sightseeing, hikes, snow and a number of mishaps but no major injuries or troubles. Friends, it was the Great American Road Trip. We went from DC to Portland and so much in-between. These are (a handful of) the photos. If you want back story and diaries and all that, try Instagram: @amberwphoto (and currently for my 365 project and Swedish anecdotes and photos) - I'll give you the goods here and spare you the ramblings.

And now we live in Sweden!
It's been a reasonably good first two weeks. The weather here is terrible. Very little sunlight and even then, it's mostly cloudy gloom and/or rain. We've had a handful of days with sunshine and one big snow storm. Otherwise, things are good. Our apartment is adorable and in a great location. The public transport is top-notch. George likes his job. I haven't got a lot to do but I'm working on it. Language classes start next week. More to come.
