As the very last month of my beautiful US life was so full of impressions, adventures and experiences, I will summarize it with some pictures.

It was an amazing East to South time with first Larissa & Matthew:

• DC luggage struggles (Laura’s apartment did not open for me)
• im Schlamm versinkende Lisa in Greensboro
• National Whitewater Center in Charlotte (ziplines, climbing, incredible heat)
• No bars for underaged humans
• Biggest Aquarium in Atlanta with sharks, whales, crocodiles and sealions
• Atlanta’s (suburb) tiniest firework on 4th July
• Superlong drives and empty Montgomery (Alabama) with ‘horrible one way streets’
• New Orleans, its galleries, French Quarter, cute shops but not umhauende Beignets at Cafe du Monde
• FREE HUGS
• Houston Space Center and beautiful Waterwall
• the most stupid Highway from Houston to Austin (tolls, tolls, tolls)
• Austin’s Graffity Wall
• Laundry stealers
• Airport hangouts

The Westcoast part with Annika, Thies and Basti was full of hiking, climbing and exploring adventures

• Las Vegas’ fakeness
• Hoover Dam’s crazy (real!) line with an Arizona and Nevada side (also different time zones)
• Beautiful National Parks with hiking, missing the bus, more hiking
• Colorful Route 66
• Great and horrible Mexican restaurants
• Overwhelming Grand Canyon
• Risky handstands..
• Missed sunrises
• Gorgeous sunsets
• Diverse, WINDY San Francisco with curvy, hilly streets, expensive streetcars, nice biking and a popular bridge
• Schminking experiments
• Car doubts
• Freezing Lake Tahoe
• Sad and nice DC
