Greetings from Belfast!

   We spent our first few days abroad in Stockholm, sleeping in a
   boat/hotel. The weather was mostly sunny, the wine was light but nice
   and there was all the pickled herring you could eat. I love pickled
   herring (yes, it's an aquired taste). Swedes are a lot friendlier than
   they appear to be in the Bergman movies.

   We were somewhere over the Atlantic when the terror scare gripped
   Britain, and we landed in Dublin airport, not Heathrow, so we missed
   the bag checks/liquid prohibitions. We'll see how the return trip
   goes. So far, the greatest danger has been learning to drive on the
   other side of the road. It's comparable to driving at high speeds,
   backwards. Any drive that we can walk away from is a good drive.
