Yesterday I touched down in the 'Emerald Cty' after a 9 hour flight from London. Thankfully I sailed through US border control without any problems. Once outside the airport the weather felt postively warm at 21 degress centigrade, warm compared to Aberdeen that is. I am not going to lie to you, my bags were quite heavy. So instead of taking three buses across Seattle I opted for the Downtown Airporter, a shared minibus, to take me to my base for the next 8 weeks. I am staying with a lady who works at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration which will be very useful for meeting people during my fellowship.
So this is just a quick post to let you know that my Winston Churchill fellowship has begun. I will keep you updated on my travels in Seattle and Vancouver. I look forward to receiving your messages and comments, so don't be shy.
