Etudes: Waiting and Resting

I äm not good at waiting--or at resting. I'm getting lots of practice with both. Airports are a wonderful place to practice waiting, which then continues once you board an international flight...Actually the flight was fine, about 10 hours, not too bad. Funny to think about how artificial it is to sit for so long crammed between strangers, pretending it"s night time--that is where trying to rest kicks in. Resting and waiting. Actually things went smoothly, a few hassles at the end where we had the opportunity to vist all three Scandiavian countries: Denmark, Norway and Sweden. But it is all good, our luggage made it too, we were grateful.

I LOVE Swedish coffee, they serve espresso by the pot, so delicious!!! Just my style.

We spent the night in Goteburg Sweden, lovely place, picked up the new Volvo this morning. Of course there were two sets of Minnesotans there also, so friendly and talkative, 2 from Rochester, the others from Andover. Small world. Marty LOVES his new car.
We skipped the volvo factory tour to go to lunch at this great seafood place. It was memorable! Now we're on a ferry headed to Kiel Germany--tomorrow we take the autoban to Zurich. This ferry is nearly a cruise line, we have a tiny stateroom to sleep in. Should be fine. We are tired, that is part of the resting
