Weekend – NY Style

New York, United States

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.

Roughly 2500 km in about seven days and I even found someone to join me (greetz Andrea).

Welcome to the US

United States

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 …
