Hi you’ll, up early today thanks to steroids in my whowy zowy chemo. But I am trying to make the most of it. I just wanted to tell you of something that occurred yesterday on my way home from the hospital in Seattle.
I love the phenomenon of what happens when folks enter a new and different environment. People come into your environment, for example, and have a blast checking it out, when you have taken the same place for granted for how many years now? I had a close encounter yesterday on the ferry with a really great example of this.
I followed a green mini van onto the ferry, a family van with CA plates. We parked along the port rail, me right behind them. About one second later the doors exploded open and the whole crew was out pointing at the details and taking pix. They were practically hang off the side checking out all the sea life. Loved it, what enthusiasm. “Oh look, a jellyfish!” They were great.
And we are traveling to California next week to do our monthly movie duty. We will be in LA, La Jolla and San Diego. So we will hopefully be as delighted with that exotic environment. Can’t wait. Not only new place but new folks.
We will be blogging away from there.
Enthusiastic loves, Felipe of the North.
(Phil’s Camino will be showing at this festival held at the old Rainer Brewery later this month.)
That’s how we feel in New Zealand, Felipe! Everything is amazing. The landscape is very pretty, all rolling hills covered with farms and forests. The plants are all exotic and quite tropical; the birds are new, fascinating and very vocal; even the oysters are different! WE’ve been here a week and still constantly amazed. Hope we stay that way!
Gretchen ~ glad to hear that everything is going well with you guys there below the equator. Keep in touch. Having fun here and off to LA and points south soon. One question though, are the oysters vocal too? Just wondering, Felipe.x
