She is our new ambassador to Chile..

..Eva Zetterberg (top, right) who landed in Santiago two days ago. Eva´s last position was ambassador to Nicaragua where all the Gotland neighbours on this picture came to visit her. Including me who stayed with her for a good month and gave her a hand in moving into a new residence outside Managua some years ago. Eva keeps a summerhouse at Gotland where she threw a marvellous farewell lunch before her departure some time ago. We wish her good luck in her new appointment and I can´t wait - along with the rest of this crowd above - to go to Chile and visit her in the near future.

Yesterday she became an American citizen..

.. Hinda ,my sweet daughter-in-law! She, together with 122 other new Americans originating from a number of countries including Finland, was sworn in a in touching ceremony at the Washington magistrates with judges, and speeches and flying standars.."It was like right out of a film!" reports her husband Malcolm in a mail from Washington. I bet there was a bit of celebrations last night with bubbles etc at the Woodley house! Here is Congrats from Gotland and Pia amidst deep snow!
