Have spent some wonderful (and extremely hot for a swede) days in Washington DC visiting my friend Dan. Dan is the perfect host, and we've had a great time checking out some of the monuments and sights here. Don't have anything profound to say today, just wanted to say hi and post some pictures, if anyone is interested.. Hope you're all doing well wherever you are!
Love /L
Turns out this blog is crap at posting pictures, so I've put them here instead.

procrastination. the usual.
I haven't realized that I am leaving yet. I won't land in Port-au-Prince until the 18th of September, but I am leaving this gorgeous island in aproximately 36 hours. And starting Monday I will be constantly on the move until I set foot on that other island in that other sea. It is undescribably exciting and also a bit terrifying.
And so I should pack. And check. And re-check so that everything essential goes into the bag. But I can't get myself to do anything but sit and stare and try to get it into my head that there's a great adventure coming. And it will be fantabulous (as I like to call it). But it will be t o u g h.
After a month of well-needed vacation I will see a lot of things I'm not quite sure I am ready for. And I will know no-one. And I will have to get around on my third language. And I am sure I will manage to be inpolite, and dress wrong, and make funny language mistakes that will make me feel like the smallest, dumbest person on the planet...
But, I guess I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't made those mistakes in the past, so maybe I should just get off my butt and start packing all the wrong things so I can be on my way.
I will try and keep this little journal in english so all my friends from different parts of the world can come along on the journey (it would be wonderful if you wanted to). But I reserve the right to resort to swedish if I'm having that kind of day (though hopefully I won't).
Now be well til I have the time to write again!
Here's my itinerary:
16/8 Belgrad
23/8 Stockholm
27/8 Washington DC
Lawrence, KS
Chicago
18/9 Port-au-Prince
15/12 Chicago
20/12 Stockholm
