My first three weeks

I've been here three weeks today. Weather has been nice even though we've had a heat spell for a week. After so many days with temperature between 30 and 37 C it felt nice and cold when the temp went back down to 23 C.

During these weeks we've bought a kitchen table with chairs. Feels big having a table to sit at. Every meal is so much more festive than before. We've also decided we won't be having only bean bags in the tv room. A sofa is ordered and hopefully we'll get it soon.

Last week we also had washer and dryer installed. Feels kind of nice to be able to wash clothes again.

We've also had time for some adventures. Twice we've been mountaing biking up on the hills West of Stanford. It's so beautiful up there.
Last weekend (labor weekend, three days) we went biking by the bay. We're looking for a bike path that goes around NASA Ames (where I did the research for my thesis). Found the path, but it was closed of by a gate so we were unfortunately not able to bike around Ames. We also went wine tasting in Sonoma Valley on a sunny. As always we had a delicious port wine at Loxton Cellars plus we tried two new wineries. In Sonoma the wineries are getting ready for harvest. The vines were full of grapes and they were so sweet and flavorful. On the way back home we went across Golden Gate Bridge, and I took some pictures to add here.

Yesterday I went to get the last KTH student who is going to study at Stanford this year. As always there's a problem fitting the bags. Fortunately Erik was going to throw one bag away as soon as he was unpacked. Because of the space issue in the car we decided to unpack his 23 kg of clothes into the back seat of the car.
The other three students who's been here since Friday wanted to go to IKEA to buy pillows and comforters, so we spent all evening there.

That's it for this time
