Thank you John McCain

For bowing out graciously and honorably...

Yay... we are doing well!

I hear people honking and cheering outside... presumably for Obama. It's like LA won the Super Bowl!

Calling all Patriots!

Remember to vote early and vote often! K, just kidding about the "often" part :-)

Whereiscat v. Facebook

Haha, I've succumbed and joined Facebook... hmm, maybe whereiscat will be obsolete soon, hopefully not though :-) Oh here is a yummy picture, my flight out of Gothenburg was delayed and I was a hungry cat, so grabbed some traditional Swedish Hor d'oeuvres.

A River Runs Through It

Parting shots from Gothenburg...I took a quick stroll around the river front... as you can see it was a spectacular day!

The Swedes are such good parkers! It was for the good of Sweden that my parents didn't immigrate there...otherwise, you'd see perfectly parked little cars and then you'd see Catmobile parked two feet from the curb, completely crooked, and wheels turned!

Little Coffee Shop

What are these plants called? I am totally blanking out on the name.

Bye bye, Gothenburg, keep up the good work with the fish dishes! Yum!

Swedish Architecture

So far, I have been impressed with the architecture in Gothenburg. Most of the buildings here look like they are from the late 1800s or the 1900s. And yet, when you step inside, many have entirely modern interiors...such as this one below. This is the breakfast area at a hotel. It used to be a narrow corridor or a courtyard surrounded by buildings. But they put up a nice glassy ceiling, and now it's an airy, bright cafe! Whoever designed this, job well done!

The fishies of Gothenburg...

...are so yummy! Ok, here is a rare type of oyster native to Gothenburg. They look like a cross between oyster and scallop. But inside, it definitely tastes of oyster, but I prefer the ones back home. This one is too metallic for my taste.

Oh, this fillet of fish is probably the bestest fillet I have ever had! They really picked out the best piece from the halibut. It was simply devine (ok, it's divine. Thank you P, our Miss Spelling Bee :-)!
