Wiking Brother

My life has been rapidly progressing into uncharted waters. Each new day brings unexpected challenges and rewards. A couple of weeks ago I was lucky to have my host wiking brother, Mikkel, visit the US and stay with me for a week. What better place for a first stop than Seattle, of course I may be biased. I took the liberty of removing myself from a day of work and showing him what lie beneath the emerald city. In one spectacular day we ventured up into the mountains, played in the snow, saw Snoqualmie Falls, and laid on the beaches of Alki. Where else can you go from snow to sand in one day. Then to top it all off, he came with me and watched me get my first tattoo. I hope it made his parents nervous, but my attempts at convincing him to get a permanent souvenir were to no avail. The decision was met with sighs of relief by Hanne and Finn. Perhaps when his brother Lasse comes out here, I can convince him to at least get a piercing. A complete viewing of his stay here can be seen on his online album (the title of this entry is linked).
