Back in Dutch

Well, this is the first official post with the new format, hopefully I can be a little better with the updating schedule. Just getting back from a relaxing week in Michigan visiting with family and friends. The weather was amazing, the first time I saw the sun in a while - there is something wonderful about putting on a swimsuit and not taking it off for the entire weekend. I was able to see some great friends, some I haven't seen in a while, and it is always good to spend some time with the family. I just want to thank everyone for making the drive and hanging out for a few days. I'm glad everyone enjoyed the crab and salmon.

The flight back to the island has been long, but everything went smoothly. We flew out of San Fransisco at sunset and the view from the plane was amazing. The lights from the bay area and the bridge reflecting off the black ocean, with the sky blood red smeared into orange, yellow, and finally midnight blue of the coming twilight. I tried to take some pictures, but it's difficult getting anything to turn out when moving over 300 miles/hour.
