Hello to Our Dear Friends...

Sorry for the delay in getting this blog up and running. We've now been in the States for over 3 weeks and we have been rather busy with all kinds of things. Like buying a car, driving to Florida, finding a place to live, getting settled in, and starting to explore and enjoy Northern Florida.

According to the locals, it's been cold since we arrived. True enough, temperatures last night fell to almost freezing. But it's been sunny almost every day, and usually plenty warm to hang out by the beach or pool. Erik is learning how to surf, and I am trying to get the hang of surf kayaking. Gunilla is reading, walking, and exercising more than she has in years. Then there's biking, netflix movies, great meals, socializing etc. etc.

We are enjoying ourselves tremendously. The US can be a crazy place, but the people are usually very friendly and open. We have met some wonderful people and hope to meet a lot more. So are, everything is even better than we had hoped. More soon.

Steve
