spring is finally here! in sweden anyway, probably has been elsewhere for a while... Here's some pics from our trip the other week to scotland and holland...

pub in edinbourgh, great live fiddle band. Edinbourgh is a beutiful city, all stone buildings , everybuilding looks like an old medevil church or castle. i don't know why i don't have any pictures of it up here...

and i saw nessie swimming deep in the canal here coming out of loch ness , a long dark shadow and blowing lots of bubbles, huh, not that hard to spot, i don\t know what all the fuss is.

Up in the highlands near Inverness we visited the Findhorn Ecovillage and Marcussea where there\s lots of neat sustainable building practices


paint dancing or dance painting, pretty much turned into dancing on a brown sea of paint, the band was good

Whiskey barrel homes
the holland pics were just of the people we were with, friends from magnetic island. adam`s getting married so we met his bride to be and her family and it was awesome to hang with squim and roel again and see nanny once again. Holland has got to be one of my fav places on earth.

i know, my camera sucks in low light, it;s got no flash and i mean it`s got no flash!

Land of Ice

So back in Sweden now; settling in; yup... So, since the school year doesn't really line up with us come to sweden at the same time, Miki and I have the idea to start our own school. it's called Cannon College and we put up a web site if any of you are interested (copy/paste)
http://www.cannoncollege.co.cc

it kind of explains what it is there and the courses we're making for ourselves.

also working on a project to convert an old barn into a guest house for us to live in while in Sweden. Its alot of work but all part of the sustainable living course i'm doing trying to reuse all kind of materials for building renovations.

Ahh so yes we also stopped in Iceland and had a great time. went on my first "Tour bus" and had a guide drive us to all the neat spots like craters and guisers and the north american/eurasian contenantial divide and all the while give us a head load of iceland trivia. then off to the blue lagoon hotsprings to warm ourselves back up after an extremly cold day. (iceland cold by the way)
