Graduation day!!!

Yesterday it was time to experience a true American graduation ceremony. It was extremely hot and crowded and we waited for hours to hear Ali's name getting called. It was followed by a fantastic party at the Levie residence. A band was playing and let me sing a few songs with them.

Ali and her friend Alicia on their way to graduation! Congrats!!

I made Swedish meringue cakes!

Barn party

Dancing with Grandpa Levie. Old guys rule!

Aris, Gina and I ended the day in a super charming cottage on Cherry Ridge Road outside Sebastopol. We went into the hot tub and could hear coyotes howling out in the woods! Pretty amazing.

West Coast!

So time for some adventures on the west coast of this crazy huge country! Yesterday I saw the airports of Springfield, Denver and LA before finally ending up in my old favorite San Francisco!

The L.A weather looked nice from the airport window

The San Francisco weather, on the other hand, wasn't too exciting... Fortunately, it's getting better.

Blurry but happy! My California parents Cheryl and Jim picked me up and we went to the fantastic "Squat and Gobble" restaurant for some lunch before going home to Sebastopol.
