Two days to departure

Well, two days to go. The knee feels fine but I have not been using it much as I have only been walking to the bus stop every day. On the weekend I rode some errands by bike, but the mileage did not amount to much. Saturday will either be a grand success or an ultimate failure. Fortunately if the later occurs I have had several offers from kind people to pick me up by car from wherever I get stranded.

Our expectant crow is still sitting on her nest. No babies yet. The geese on the other hand have had quite a successful set of litters. There are packs of gosslings everywhere, being herded around by watchful parents, who get angry by hissing at you if you walk too close.

Assuming the trip does not get aborted, I will try to update the blog with my progress once in a while. Probably will not be too frequent though, unless I find free internet connections in remote places.
