Waz Up ? After Alaska we went to stay with other friends in the Philadelphia area. The day after we arrived there we went to NEW YORK !!!! Rich came with us and played tour guide for the day, he did a really good job. It took us two hours in the car to get to the Big Apple, parked the car and went walking for about 7 hours. And yes, after that we were pretty tired....pfff We went to: Broadway 42nd street were all the theaters/musicals are, lots of advertisements in neon lights Visited St. Patricks cathedral, very impressive with [View Full Entry]

Estas fotos las he hecho desde el avión, en realidad ha [View Full Entry]

I watched a movie called “European Vacation”, when I was a kid in India. It is the comedy of a fat American family with boisterous kids who do their best to catch the flavor of Europe, but just don't know how to be good tourists. They have difficulty adapting to new cultures and cannot drive small European cars nor speak local language. After a number of encounters and adventures, they manage to successfully complete their trip. That movie showed Europe in its entirety and made such a mark on me that I vowed to visit Europe when I was older. I [View Full Entry]

Atlantic City, New Jersey, 27 juin Après les plages de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, j'arpentai le bitume des villes de Boston et de New-York. Retrouver le charme de Beacon Hill (Boston), avec ses maisons et ses rues de briques rouges, m'apporte à chaque fois le même bonheur. J'y ai revu Karin et son mari James, avec qui j'ai passé une agréable soirée dans leur magnifique «domaine» sous les arbres. La «Big Apple» m'attendait de pied ferme par la suite. J'avais planifié d'entrer dans New-York au petit matin et de laisser ma bagnole sur Staten Island. J'ai mis mon plan à éxécution avec succès [View Full Entry]

It is Newark, everybody. It is the 64th largest city in the US according to Wikipedia. More than half of the city population is African American. Latino or Hispanic origins accounts for a close to 30%. In 1996, Money magazine named Newark was the "most dangerous city in the Nation" but things have changed dramatically due to efforts of local government to revitalize the city. New commercial developments have arisen in the downtown areas. Here are few scenes around the city. A piece of advice about street meter parking in Newark. If you have a car and plan to park along [View Full Entry]

Finishing the whole packing process today. Just got to delete the old photos that are taking up space on my camera, download a few more songs and upload them to my iPod, recheck my tickets, and get my goddamn zippo back from August. Other than that, just gotta see everyone one last time and say goodbye. For anyone I didn't get to see today, I hope you guys have a fun summer and the cranium is in my garage if you want it. Peace [View Full Entry]

June 11 Ira Fine gave us a ride back to the trail. Aside from ourselves, there were three other hikers staying there: Willie Boy, Root, and Night Terror. We hiked with them for most of the day. The trail coming out of Lehigh Gap was the closest thing to mountain climbing we've had so far. It was actually a lot of fun, and quite challenging. The rest of that day was rocky hiking, and when we made it to the shelter, we decided to set up the tent to avoid the bugs. We met a ridgerunner that day, named Rue. He [View Full Entry]
