Britt-Marie and I in line at the gate at Amsterdam airport. We was delayed from Linköping due to snow and ice, and in Amsterdam due to the rigorous security checks. Every handbag was opened and we had to scan shoes and coats. But once in the air everything worked fine. 11 hours after we left Europe we touched down in San Francisco, CA.
We were picked up at the airport by Tom, while Åsa waited at home in San Jose. They are our lovely hosts, and we felt so welcommed. This is where we will stay during our trip, except for a few days in San Francisco over New Years Eve.
The view from the apartment. There is both an ordinary pool, nicely heated, and a jacuzzi.
Daniel with a drink. We worked hard to stay awake, as we are nine hours after our ordinary time here. At 6PM the clock is 3AM at home, and the bedbugs bite pretty hard. We managed to stay up until 9:30PM (me) and 11PM (the rest).
Strongly colored nachos, Christmas style. We were amazed by the bright reds and greens, this is not something you find in an ordinary Swedish shop!
what a wonderful view - glad you felt so welcommed by your friends. Wish you both wonderful days in America - can´t wait to see your pics
ReplyDeleteThe nachos are really special with their intensive colours

ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so excited to see that you've made it to San Jose! Nice views from the window of the apartment! I was thinking that you would be going to some rigorous security checks in Amsterdam, especially since the latest terrorist attacker guy flew in to the U.S. from there! Enjoy you time in SF!
ReplyDeletebeautiful, that she has arrived safely! A very nice view from the window and the Nachos simply great!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a healthy peaceful 2010.
