Happy New Year Children's Hospital Los Angeles

What's better to celebrate the new year's eve than watching Kyle's and Paul's charity stream from the other day. They reached 100K for the Children's Hospital Los Angeles!

Progress

Gotta love the tweet Videocardz posted the other day on Nvidias "roadmap", after the very peculiar announcement of their rtx 2050.

When Stockholm gets cozy

Christmastide in Stockholm Old Town.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have a lot to be grateful of, but before the world's "done" we have a ton of things to do. Start with yourself. You dig it?

Yummi (?)

On my flight back to Sweden I got some grilled tofu. It was dry and tasted like... nothing. But what can you expect. Sarah left for Washington DC already yesterday.

Man's best friend

An accurate artistic representation of the dog in our alley. He's all black in real life, but with a personality just as colorful as in this mural :-)

The hanging gardens

Sarah loves the "hanging gardens" of the harbor district.

Decaying beauty

Gotta love these old doors.

Too hot today, even at sea level

Ridiculously hot today (40C/104F). I'm at one of the restaurants on the boardwalk and sweat is pouring down my neck. Sarah gets headache when it's too hot, so she's staying at home with an unlimited supply of iced tea.

Roof living

Just struck us the other day that the locals who live down by the harbor have their garden on the roof. Cool!

This eatery got a blackout?

Or is it Jack Black's restaurant?

Exercise is mandatory

We've got a nice view from up here, but it's a pain in the a** to climb the steps.

Summer vacation is cozy

Check out our huge living room / bedroom / work space!

Sun-drenched

Gorgeous view from our terrace.

From phone

You shall (not) pass!

A restaurant down at the yacht club has these strange creatures guarding their entrance. A perfect example of how nature can provide the most awesome things to add that little "extra" to it. We're definitely going to copy this for our own house in Sausalito.

A break from the heat

We all love siesta.

From phone

Quaint living

We're ditching the hotels and renting a little house for a change. Complete with the local atmosphere: steep stairs, dogs barking, cats meowing, kids playing in the alleys and laundry flapping from every line like when you were a kid. Gotta love it!

When languages collide

Continuing the nasty body parts references: This jar was found in our kitchen...

Town beach

Your no. 1 fan

Sarah worked late yesterday and couldn't pick me up at the airport. But she remembered to keep the fan on in our rental as I had requested. A fan with a very peculiar brand name. At least for someone who understands Swedish...

Mask up

It's July the 7th and I'm going back to Spain. This time around they have ditched the PCR as well as the rapid test as a prerequisite for crossing the border. But it's still mandatory to wear face mask on the plane.

From phone

A burrito joint

My last lunch in Stockholm before returning to Spain to meet up with Sarah again. This place have been on my radar for a while. They serve burritos. Mission style. And they are totally OK. Remind me of the run of the mill burritos of the Chipotle Mexican Grill in the US.

From phone

Happy 4th!

Celebrate, folks! We've earned it.

American pizza - Swedish style

Just had an "American pan pizza" at a local eatery in Järfälla, Sweden. Not the best. But at least they were generous with the mozzarella cheese. In Sweden, you don't encounter that every day. It's like mozzarella is an exclusive thing, or something.

From phone

Lake Mälaren

Swedish summer at its best. Blue sky, overwhelming greenery and temps in the upper 70s.

From phone

Lots of water...

It's rare to be able to see downtown Stockholm during approach. But because of heavy turbulence we had a different route than the regular one.

From phone

Because fish grow on trees

Funny how Spanish airports still consider tuna as "vegetarian". Feels like the 80's.

From phone

A brand new place

The last few nights we have been staying at a new place called Resort Cordial Santa Agueda in Arguineguin. A bit on the pricey side, but you get a private pool and everything is spanking new. Tomorrow Sarah will be flying to Barcelona on an important job. I'll be going back to Sweden for a brief pitstop. Depending on how my government decides on traveling outside EU after July 1, we'll be going to the US or remain in Europe for 2 months or so.

Beach is calling

Sunday afternoon, June 13. The locals are chillin' on the beach.

From phone

Calima is approaching

A calima is approaching. You can tell from the stuffy and milky air. Tomorrow we're expecting close to 100 degrees (37 degrees centigrade).

From phone

Anfi del Mar

Anfi del Mar is slowly but surely beginning to wake up from the pandemic. Although most of the people are locals, the tourists are finding their way back to their favorite getaway.

From phone

Perry in the morning

Morning at the hotel. Trying to get catch up with the news.

From phone

My sunshine

Sarah doesn't like it when I snapshot her without her knowing it. This is on a small community beach in Arguineguin, a small town situated in the far south of the island.

From phone

The infinite blue

The infinite ocean right outside our window. This is how it should be.

From phone

Fun to be back

Holá Las Palmas! 9 years ago, Sarah did a job here and now we're back. It feels so good to travel again!

From phone

Hello world!

It feels like forever since I set foot on an airport. But here I am!

From phone

Finally we get to meet

Sarah has managed to snatch a work permit in Spain. She is so happy to be able to fly out of the country. And as my government has yet to let me fly to the US fully insured, I'll be meeting up with wifey in Spain next week. First time in 18 months!!

Shake-N-Out

Sarah went to the first Shake Shack in SF the other day. Better than In-N-Out? Try it out yourself. The City is finally opening up again :-)

From Sarah

Bye Dad!

Last Sunday we said our last goodbyes to our dear father. It was special. Our family is special. We see humor in sadness and the grand thing in the little thing. Dad was a quirky individual, especially to all who didn't know him. And he was extremely individualistic yet sensed everything that was constructive around him and had a strong will, a good heart and great determination. Traits that is a trademark of our family. Thanks dad for all and everything.

Happy Valentine's!

A little rough around the edges, but it's till good old Valentine's Day. We all need it more than ever.

Happy Groundhog Day!

Will Punxsutawney Phil emerge and see his own shadow today, predicting an early spring?

Do you love me?
