New York |
New York was my first stop. I went from the airport with the subway to my hotel, and when I was getting out of the subway I was totally amazed... Huge building all over the place! My hotel was next to broadway :-p. I had to adjust my neck to look up more. |
| After staying in New York for about a week I continued to Boston. The lobster city. Boston was nice and there lived a huge lot of russian people. |

Niagara Falls |
Niagara Falls was nice. The falls were a lot smaller than I had imagined! Walking across the bridge from America to Canada was nice to... especialy going back. You had to pay 50 cents to get across the border! And paying 50 cents sucks if you only have visa. |
| Toronto rocks! I was here for the weekend, and the city just didn't stop partying :-). Luckely I had found out about the caffeine pills concept a few days earlier, so this was the best place to test them. |

Detroit |
Detroit sucks! I never thought I could be so happy leaving a place. I was in downtown Detroit for one day, and it was one day to long... Empty and burned out buildings all over the place. Everything was extremly dirty. Huge factory chimneys pumping thick white smoke into the air were about one meter high... Yech! On the good side... I did see a gas station where they sold kerosine, and quite a few cars with real spinners :-p |
| Chicago was great! I spent around four days here. A few days just lying on the beach :-) |

|
St. Louis |
St. Louis had the B52's! Yeah!!! |
| Visited elvis' home, but that was boring.. |
Memphis |
|
Little Rock |
Little rock was also pretty dull. |
| Here I bought my digital camera. So no more disposeble stuff. The amount of pictures I took increased dramatically after this. |
Kansas City |
|
Denver & Gold digging exp. |
Yeah! Found real gold! |
|
Rocky Mountain |
|
|
Canyonlands & Arches & Moab |
The arches were very cool, but don't go there to see the sunset, because when I did it started to rain like it had never rained before. |
|
Mesa Verde |
|
|
Petrified forest |
Okay, I expected a HUGE forest filled with petrified trees, but no... there were just a few pieces of petrified tree trunk lying around. A total disappointment. |
| Oh my god. I actually paid to see this. What a crap! |
Meteor crater |
|
Lake Powell |
Lake Powell is a place where only rich people walk around. Great parties, boats, booze, girls, fun, swimming pools, great!. |
|
Grand Canyon (south & north) |
|
|
Brice Canyon |
Very cool park, but I felt like I was back in holland. Only dutch people around! |
| Zion was the best park! |

|
Las Vegas |
Sin City was so cool! Ofcource I only lost money, but it was an adventure I will never forget. Walking outside in the extreme heat, where cold water is blown in your face. Even far past midnight it's still hot. The when you go inside a casino it's like heaven... It's cool, lights en happy sounds everywhere, and I heard they even pump oxygen enhanced air into the casino's to make you happier. All the free shows were also very nice. Oh ja, ook nog iets cultureels gedaan... hooverdam, maar dat was niet echt wat ik verwacht had.. *gaap* |
| After the petrified 'forest' I expected a single tree in this park... But no.. the park was great. Huge amounts of those cool joshua trees everywhere. I found out a joshua tree is the same type of plant I have at home :-). The park was very very hot, but it had some kind of magical aura on it. |
Joshua Tree |
|
San Diego, Tijuana |
Tijuana = sad donkeys you cen sit on and have your picture taken, all the medicines you desire, (cheap) tequila, souvenirs and all other touristic crap you can think of. |
| Where else... Hollywood was the only place I experienced the results of a brutal police persuit. One bad-guy car and one cop-car were total-loss. The block where the crash occured was cramped full with other cop-cars and cops, all investigating stuff. |

Sequoia & Kings Canyon |
|
|
Yosemite |
|
|
San Fransisco |
San Fransisco was my last destination. From here I flew back to New York and the back to Amsterdam. SF was so cool! I stayed here the longest time, like a week or so, and liked it a lot. SF is a very relaxed city. |
| Back home... |
