Just a quick post to let you all know I’m safe and well in hot and sunny California.
Yesterday I settled into what will be home for the next three months (photos to follow) before visiting the local supermarket to stock up with food. This was ‘Whole Foods’, a superstore famed for it’s moral values, so nearly everything I brought there was organic — but without the prices you would expect in the UK.
Hopefully I will have something more insightful and thoughtful to say in the next week, but needless to say, all comments and e-mails are very much welcomed. Hopefully time permitting I can reward you with many photos of Palo Alto and San Francisco, and perhaps even a podcast or two. This all of course depends on how long I have to wait to get my hands on a lovely new MacBook Pro!

Whole Foods is pretty expensive compared to other food stores, although prices in California are generally much higher than the rest of the U.S., so it is all relative. Glad that you like the U.S. (or at least what you have seen of it)
