Welcome!

The climbfish have now evolved to cover my life in the US - including very exiting life in downtown Baltimore (aka the wire) and ocean research expeditions with NOAA. I don't promise frequent updates but I will try and cover the most and least exiting times here. Enjoy!

Election Night

With a feeling of excitement to be in the US Capitol on election day I went down to the White House to see if there was anything going on the last few hours before election. And I found... an empty house! However, there was a small but very hopeful crowd of people outside in the park doing their best to support Obama with whatever godly powers they could assume. It got pretty amusing after a while, people sure are involved here! Supported from the heavens or not, I sure hope he wins.



Late night update...
Happy Obama supporters sharing glasses of champagne
with every one in our local "Bar Hon". Awesome!

Creatures


So I got my (well deserved) small share of Sandy after all and got stuck at the airport in Puerto Rico for half a day on my way home. I am using the time to upload some pictures from the last two days. Meet "Turtle" and other new friends I made! Now it's time to change my shorts and straw hat for furry winter panties. Brrrrr. I leave rather reluctantly, but it will be very good to see the canoe, and Anna!

Working in the Mangrove Lagoon. No motorboats allowed!
Lots of little fish hiding in the mangrove
Another little fish hiding in the Seagras
Big fish hiding in the sand...We were both very surprised
If I was a little fish I would swim elsewhere...

Going home, just like me!
