House Warming Geneva

Just finished the cleanup of my Geneva House Warming … its been a very evening with some (as approved by others) very nice chilli and a couple of other nice stuff brought in by my guests.
Writing about the guests … they also put some colour on my walls, finally.
The guestbook wallpaper was filled with its first entries …
If you want to be part just come on over … all yours!

Thanks to all of you who brought some food or even an inauguration present …
and special thanks to pot lenders …

Weekend – NY Style

After my little ~3000 km road trip starting in Chicago I finally arrived in New York to spend the weekend here …
I started the weekend with a nice little walk from 103rd down to Battery Park passing by almost all important sights in Manhatten …
continued with a long walk through Brooklyn and some more time in Manhatten on Saturday …
and finished up with a Yankees game (I happened to pass by and luckely got one of the returned tickets, they actually lost against the team of the previous city on my trip, the Toronto Blue Jays), a Bronx walk today and dinner at 6th&53rd today …
Queens and Staten Island will have to wait until next time I guess …

But as most people would agree, it’s a nice city … even though I was not too overwhelmed after seeing Chicago and Toronto before … ;)

btw … it was just approx. 53.300 people in the Yankee arena.

US Road Trip [UPDATE]

Just made up a first real plan of my little road trip …

  • Chicago, Illinois
  • Toronto, Ontario
  • Niagara Falls, Ontario/New York
  • Adirondack Park, New York

Roughly 2500 km in about seven days and I even found someone to join me (greetz Andrea).
In case you wanna have a preview even though its not final yet … click here.
The current trip can be found on my webpage in the “Cities & Tours” section.

Welcome to the US

I finally, after some ten hours in different planes, arrived in the Comfort INN in Geneva, IL.
Yes, that’s right … there is a Geneva just next to Fermilab in Illinois, United States.

Just finished my registration and had some snacks (actually healthy ones) … and will now try to stay awake for another two hours or so …

Heja Sverige!

Todays the day … this year’s roadtrip to Sweden started!

It’s been great … its a beautiful country!

I’m currently working on the route in the ‘Cities & Tours’ section of my webpage and a selection of pictures will be online as well soon(ish).
