Dani California

I know it has been a while since my last message. For me time flies though. The other day someone counted my remaining number of weeks for me and I really didn’t like it. So Im not going to tell you right now :)

My research is doing better than ever, because the mechanical system I am working on actually works completely lately. It’s always nice to see things moving. In my spare time I am actually partying less since a while, Im doing little trips instead. Like visiting San Francisco, Treasure Island, Santa Cruz and like last Sunday when I arranged a whale watching boat trip for 40 people in Monterey Bay. It was a really great day that everyone enjoyed (depends a little bit on how seasick they got) and we got to see some Killer Whales and Dolphins. The whales weren’t very close, the boat followed them on a distance but we could see them coming up to breath, showing their head, fins and flanks. So all our pictures are kind of blurry or ‘to late’. It was quite amazing anyway, if you ever get the chance: go on a whale watching trip! But be aware of motion sickness :)

Furthermore, California is treating me just fine, it is around 30 degrees C around this time. I haven’t seen rain yet in America, although a week ago there was a day when the weather really tried.. 

More stories next time, I will write before Halloween which I will spend in Santa Barbara close to Los Angeles. It is supposed to be the best place to celebrate and Halloween is HUGE here in Amerika (I think maybe comparable to Carneval in the South of Holland).
