Yepz. I’m in the place to make love, a small town named Woodstock to be precise – just about 1-2 hours north of Chicago.
Last days I spend in Chicago, but my energy for exploration is a little worn out / drained. So browsed the city a little yesterday, wandered the streets, didn’t felt like visiting the highlights (Sears Towers or some of the museums) and eventually took ‘the …
And today we are broadcasting live from Chicago. A short update about the last days.
On Monday I went to Des Moines, wandered the streets and visited an exhibit about all the prides and heroes of Iowa (mostly about sports) and after that I drove some over the rural countryroads – which is amazing! The scenery is really breathtaking and looks so natural and real.
After that Emma came back from her …
This weekend we [Emma and me] went to Iowa City. First we had brunch with Emma’s sister in a Chinese restaurant. A buffet, so I could pick my favorites and eat as much as I wanted.
After that we drove around the city for a bit, they showed me the main buildings. We took a short break to visit an ‘aunt’ of theirs. We drank some tea and talked and after …
Just a quick update. About to go to bed, but just wanna let you guys know what I’m up to.
Wednesday I didn’t went to the Zoo, I walked around in Omaha – has some very old beautiful buildings – and visited a mall. Was less big than the one in Vancouver, though. But it had a lovely bookstore, Barnes & Noble. Big and lots of books. Also bought two …
Stop the Search and Rescue missions! I’m still alive and breathing. Currently writing this in a hotel in Omaha.
Last time I posted, I was still in Valentine (Nebraska). After that I drove eastwards through the beautiful country (reminds me a little of the French countryside though) and ended up in Sioux City. Here I stayed just for the night, nothing special to report. The only thing mentionable is that I …
Ok. Quick post before I hit the road again.
Yesterday I left Rapid City and drove through the Badlands. And OMG… that is really amazing! It’s so beautiful, I pulled over about 20-30-40 times. I spend more than 4 hours driving through it and I shot more than 400-500 pictures.
For comparison: I shot less than 150 pictures at Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse. Don’t know the number of pictures I shot in Yellowstone, …
Just like Emma told you guys earlier; I visited Crazy Horse Memorial and Mount Rushmore yesterday (Thursday the 13th). But it was not as good as expected.
Well… let met put it like this: Crazy Horse was very impressive, because it was a non government sponsored initiative and they are really believing in building the thing. It’s impressive and huge! It’s gonna be a statue of about 550 feet (170 meters) …
Okay hold onto your horses people. HUGE change in plans.
Skar decided to nix the Minneapolis part of his trip, and replace it with Omaha.
“Blah, blah blah…so how does that effect ME?†Jaja I can hear when you talk to your computer. It is the newest technology we have here in America :)
Well, there is good news, and there is bad news. Which one do …
A quick quick post from the library in Cody, Wyoming. Just left Yellowstone Park. I’m still alive and LOVING it…. OMG OMG OMG… the scenery is amazing, the people are awesome and the weather couldn’t be any better… about 90F / 25-30C degrees. LOVELY!
I shot Emma a more detailed report. She’s pretty busy right now with her work, so she might update Rakso tomorrow… all have patience.
Some facts: writing this …
Skar is traveling through areas flushed hot and then cold with phone service. His cell service provider predicts a 50% chance of pulling trough to a signal in The Vicinity of the Yellow Rocks. Last we heard of him was yesterday just outside Livingston, Idaho. He was in great spirits, and said that he has had visions of natural beauty that we would like to share.
