Arrived

A generally good journey over from Aberdeen to Hartford, Connecticut via Dublin. Some lovely views as we approached. Look at all those trees:

Unfortunately my bag didn't make it with me! Hoping to be reunited soon. Have access to camping equipment here so will be heading off on Friday for a 4 day walk along the Appalachian trail regardless. 

Around 30 degrees centigrade here and humid. Air conditioning is a wonderful thing...

Staying with Gudrun and David (and Sage) in the Yellow House, Hadley, Massachusetts. Check out the barns.

On my way

 Set off from Shetland on Sunday. 

And today fly Aberdeen - Dublin - Hartford, Connecticut.

Muckle Bousta

 Going to miss this view. But it will be here when I get back...
