Got a car, ready for a road trip! 8-)

After a couple of relaxed days, today was a nice exciting day again. In the morning Steve helped me with finding a nice rental car. He did a good job, because less than two hours later I was the proud owner of a nice minivan for the next couple of weeks. It’s a nice, very […]

Just an ordinary day

Of course you can’t have 80 super-exciting days in a row and so today was a little less interesting day. In the morning Steve and I brought Dawn to work and checked out some new trucks. In the afternoon Steve needed to see a doctor, because his neck turned out to hurt more than expected. […]

Planning a road trip and cooking Italian food

Today I started planning my road trip for the next couple of months. Dawn showed me a nice tool for that: mapquest.com. You can drag your route on the map and it tells you how far it is and how much time it will take to get you there. As it looks right now and […]

San Francisco!

Today was again one of the best days of my journey so far. We went to San Francisco. Before we left from home, Steve and Dawn told me to bring a sweatshirt with me. I didn’t use my sweatshirt so much yet, so I was quite surprises. When we arrived I was very happy that […]

A great sunday at the lake

This morning Dawn and I went to her local church. After a couple of sundays visiting old American churches, it was really nice to go to a modern living church. It was a huge building with a parking spot almost as big as a soccer field and like you expect when you see that, there […]

American party

Liked planned yesterday Steve and Dawn where throwing a party today. In the morning we went to the supermarkt (I still can get lost in there, they are so huge) and did shoppings for the party. In the afternoon Steve turned out to be a real Cinderella and cleaned up the house completely till it […]

When a day goes different as planned

Let me first say that I’m completely alright, so there is no need for worries 🙂 Having that said, today worked out totally different as expected. In the morning I spend some time at the computer, skyped with my good friend Rick who told me about the recent earthquake and coming hurricane this weekend at […]

A perfect day in Yosemite

After a good sleep and a nice breakfast we prepared ourself for what turned out to be one of the best days of my journey. We made some sandwiches, packed our bags and went in the car. Direction: Yosemite National Park. The ride of about two hours to the park was already very beautiful. Almost […]

The good life at the west coast

Around 8.30 this morning I arrived in LA. The weather was absolutely perfect. Not to hot, not to cold and fresh air. The first thing I wanted to do was to go to the beach. Again I made a mistake by underestimating the distances. All excited I took the metro to Long Beach, but instead […]

The 46 hours train ride (2/2)

(To read the first part about yesterday, click here) The first time I woke up in the morning it was still dark and I had a huge pain in the back of laying in a wrong position. So I changed my position and tried to fall asleep again. Although the seats are really nice during […]
