While staying here in Seattle and snatching glimpses of Kirsten when circumstances permit has its appeal, unfortunately its appeal is not so great for the new parents - who understandably want a bit of time and space. So we’re planning to head up to Vancouver Island in Canada. We’ve been told that Vancouver island is lovely and there sounds like there’s plenty to do - so we should be alright.
Recently we heard about an intriguing program called Servas which tries to match up travelers and people who want to host travelers. It’s all about trying to promote cultural and political understanding between people all over the world. We looked up a Servas person in Seattle and met up with her today to find out a little more about the program. We need to look into it a little more, but sounds like a great idea.
It looks like we’ll be up early tomorrow so I’ll keep this short.
P.S. Happy birthday Dad! (’alles Gute zum Geburtstag’ says Babelfish)
