Well, welcome back to the Northwest, and thanks for the news update. I expect things will feel quite different from Greece after so long... I can't even imagine. Even when my wife and I go to Denmark for just 3 weeks, it feels like culture shock to come back to the US... even though our small burg in Washington seems as close to European as any in North America.
Looks like at least you're not socked in by the pervasive smoke from the many BC wildfires as of late. Today was the first day of the past two weeks we didn't see the world through a brown haze... and thats 300km to the south.
Oh, and congrats on becoming a great uncle!
Yeah, the smoke never got bad here - the closest fires were many hundreds of kilometers away. But our skies did get a little hazy for a few days last week because winds blew smoke up along the coast and then inland from the mouth of the Skeena near Prince Rupert. Just made the further mountain ranges look a little more mysterious than usual.
