Closing in on my final destination, Culebra, PR |
I’m sitting on the
slow ferry to Culebra with a mountain of gear next to me hoping the pouring rain
will stop before I make it to the other side. It was not supposed to be this
way, I should by all rights have a coconut drink in my left hand several hours
ago, but SouthWest Airlines wanted differently and had accumulated a lovely 1.5
hour line up to the check in so all travel plans fell apart when I missed the
only direct flight for the day with a good hours marginal, send me on an
expensive hastily planned alternative route with a different carrier and
missing my connecting flight, which brought me to the last ferry of the day.
Now I take it you don’t feel too sorry for me as I’m once again heading down to
do field work in Puerto Rico, but I just needed to put my frustrating day into
words. Done.

Leaving Sweden after
the wedding and the tightly packed 2 week social frenzy was pretty tough, I had
a cold but great time paddling with Anna on the west coast, and after we spend
a few fleeing days under the midsummer sun with my family on the east coast.
Much to short.

I came back rather
reluctantly to a hot humid Baltimore and decided that whimpering about being
back to work during the Swedish midsummer calibration it was not my thing. I
quickly drove to IKEA to buy herring and invited what friends I could scramble
to a Swedish style midsummer party in our backyard. Not bad. Next day I joined
some bike friends out to the coast to watch the super moon and the space
station fly by. It was incredibly nice and I realized that summer here might
not be that bad after all. I’m getting slightly seasick (great start of my 3 week sea odyssey out here, 20 days of none stop work from small boats and kayaks coming up). I’ll let my picture tell some more stories in my usual fashion.

Midsummer US Style. I did bring some schnapps and herring from IKEA though :) |
