An incredible travel experience. We started from New York and ended our adventure in San Francisco, covering about 9,000 kilometres by car, all within 3 weeks. We crossed New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and finally California.

NOT BAD, EH???

Day 12 Jul 2004

Arrival in New York

After a long journey we finally arrived in New York. We landed at 10:00 PM and the next day at 7:00 AM we were already on the street. Our Alberto was on 117th Street and we walked all the way to the sea. What a walk... but I'd say the effort was rewarded. A nice American breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon, scalloped potatoes, toast and a half-liter vanilla milkshake) just to stock up on energy. Walked, walked, walked, at one point I had a stiff neck. Of course, always looking up isn't the best, but then again I didn't have much choice:O). Finally, once on the Empire State Building, the roles reversed, and suddenly it was I who was looking at New York from above. Anyway, in the evening we got back around 7:00 PM, dead tired, and threw ourselves on the bed. WHAT A MISTAKE!!! We woke up the next morning and at 2:00 PM we had the train for Washington.

You won't believe it, but I was in New York and I missed the night show. We arrive at the central station and take the train to Washington.
