USA, 14 Feb. - 03 May 2007

Amy and I co-habited so pleasantly and successfully during the Fall 2006 that I was eager to come back for another 3 month, the maximum allowed on a tourist visa. Although I had met Vlad when I was back in France for Christmas and New Year's eve, my plans to return to the USA were already a done deal. So, mid-February, I was in California for a meeting of the W3C Advisory Board, in Cupertino. Then Vlad visited early March. We experienced the cold cold winter while doing tourism in Boston. We had a wonderful 2-week vacation, after which I was a little tired. It turned out a baby was on the way! Then winter yielded to spring which I enjoyed briefly. It was time to pack all my things to travel to Banff(!) in Canada for the W3C Advisory Committee meeting, and then go back home to Vlad, in France. There is also a flickr set (127 photos).

I was thinking he was crazy to take off his sneakers and walk in the snow. That's when he went barefoot in the water.

This very guy found his photo on flickr and commented: "I took off my shoes to keep them dry. Then I put on thick wool socks when I got in the boat."

And also (after I asked "was it you?!")

"Hi Koalie, Yes it is! One of my friends sent me the link to the photo. Thanks for taking the great pictures of us. The story is that my boots sunk the week before so I had to rough it."
