JSF journey across the USA

---

This is the first entry of this travel blog, which we plan to use to document our road trip across the USA. Santiago, Francesco, and I (Julio) are planning to travel from Amherst, MA, to Victoria, BC, stopping along the way in as many interesting places as possible. The trip starts June 30, 2008. Stay tuned!

The first two pictures are of our trip to watch Argentina-USA at Giants Stadium in NJ on June 8, 2008. We stayed at a hotel nearby and had a good trip overall....except when we got all wet from a thunderstorm that broke during the last few minutes of the game....

I am also adding a few pictures from a recent trip to Israel, where I saw Sol, Serge, Sigal and Florence....

Un geee geee geee!





Today we are in Toledo, Ohio. We checked into the hotel and we are chilling with Cesco. It is July fourth, and there will be fireworks celebrating our arrival in Ohio. At least that's what we think.

Tomorrow we will travel to Madison, Wisconsin. Long drive. About 6 and a half hours. OK then.




Today we are going to Minneapolis, and go to the mall of America nad all that. Funny. only a 4 hour drive! Hooray!

Francesco at the Argentina-USA game at Giants Stadium in NJ
We went to NJ to see Argentina play USA in June 2008. The game was a bit boring (0-0) but we had fun. At the end of the game a big thunderstorm came and we got super wet!

Santiago and Francesco before the game
We got to Giants Stadium super early and had the whole place for ourselves for a while....

Midway to the North Pole
Traveling north, we found a tricky sign that informed us that we were halfway to the North pole from the Equator. Hmm.

Entering Canada
Just after the border....entering Canada at Highgate Springs, VT/Quebec....

Fixing the Thule
Our unsuccessfull attemt to fix the Thule box that was opening up when we drove. Our ''muzzle'' that we used on the box made a sound like a motorcycle when we started to drive again.

Santiago---the Butthead
