These last few days we have been in Seattle. The whole area is in a chaos. There was a huge storm last Friday (a week ago) and there are still about 200,000 houses without electricity. We saw areas where all the electrical wires were snapped by trees that that fell because of the storm.
Most of those who have no electricity are staying with friends. This means that there are more people commuting and they are driving longer distances than usual. The highways are all jammed, we spent six hours in a car on Tuesday and another four on Wednesday, just to get to places. The average speed on the highways was 20 miles/hour (~35 km/h). We are sorry that we were not able to update our blog sooner, but the internet wasn't working most of the time either.

Queen Ann HillOn Thursday were in Hayden, Idaho visiting some friends, who moved here from California. Seeing them was such a blessing, and small-town America is so relaxing. We had tremendous fun.
