Just arrived: Mother and sister

Without any complications whatsoever and to the great amusement of everyone here in Santiago, my mother Britta and sister Isabel landed on chilean soil today. They switched gloomy Nordic November for sun and palm trees by the Pacific Ocean.

It´s been more than a year since I saw them, so we have a lot to catch up on. It feels just wonderful to have them here. They brought me Swedish kaviar, which is always nice. Oh, and some electronics. Let´s just say the photographic quality of this blog will improve slightly...

We didn´t do much today, they settled in and rested mostly. The plane trip is quite long, over 24 hours. You actually win four hours when you travel with the rotation of the Earth. That´s swell, you might think, but when you go back those hours are naturally lost. UNLESS you wait until Daylight Savings Time sets in/ends, then it gets really complicated.

People on the picture, from left: Mother, aunt Adriana, grandmother Ines, Isabel and uncle Luchin. The four-legged character is named Eliott.

Now, enjoy this picture of Isabel.
