Second set of pictures from the US

Mall of America

Took some time but I finally got around to it. With this set we’re about late first week if I remember correctly. Enjoy.

On another note I just upgraded to Ubuntu “Edgy Eft” Beta and so far it’s working great. The upgrade went smoothly and there were no hassles. So far it has fixed my problem with inserted CD-ROMs not being mounted properly. I’ll try and give a review when it hits final release.

U.S. photos are up!

Gene's and Donna's houseI have just uploaded some of the photos we took on the trip to the U.S. This is just a first set, there are alot of images to sort through and post-manipulate. This first set is from Gene’s and Donna’s house, where we stayed for the most part, and some from the boating trip we took with Brad and Carol on Lake Minnetonka. You can view them here.

Back again!

After two so pleasant weeks it should be outlawed, we touched down on swedish soil again at approx. 6pm Sunday. Not that I’m actually keeping score but it may very well have been the best trip I’ve ever been on. The hospitality we were shown went above and beyond any and all expectations, and had we even been shown half of it, it would still exeed.

Thanks again you guys!

It’s been interesting getting to know the people who are our, far away but still dear, relatives. It’s been twenty years since I last visited and I’m glad that I got the chance to meet some of the persons that I havn’t seen since. And I know that I speak for all of us that we are truly grateful that you would have us there.

I have a lot of impressions that I would like to share with everyone and that is best accompanied by photos. Since we took nearly 400 photos there are alot that have to be sorted through. When I manage that I’ll put them here, like a scrapbook or something. Just wanted to let everyone know that we are home safe and sound.

Off to the US

On friday morning at 06:05 our plane takes off from Copenhagen to Minneapolis. There we will spend two weeks visiting relatives and just plain having a good time. We don’t have that much planned but we think we’re going to “Mall of America”, the “Valley fair” amusement park and Mount Rushmore. Besides that we’ll see.

In honor of this occasion I installed the Scooch web gallery and slideshow. It’s exellent in both administration and presentation. I’m really looking forward to trying it out here. We bought a new camera from Olympus which I hope will give us some nice pictures from our trip. I’ll try and upload some while we are over there but you just don’t know when you’ll stumble upon a computer.

If I’m not able to upload anything while on the trip I’ll do so when I get back. Now I really must get packing!
