Snow in Frankfurt (05.01.09)
Snow in Frankfurt 2009 – A picture taken in the early morning of this cold day in January
Washington
Today was a very rainy day in Washington DC because we have been affected by hurican weather. One could hardly cross the street.
Thus we planned a visit of the Aircraft Museum and spent some time and money in Macy’s.
In the evening weather became better, so we had a chance to walk along the National Mall, enjoying the sunset.
Williamsburg – Washington DC
Williamsburg (historic sites), Jamestown (historic sites), Fredericksburg (Battlefield), Washington DC: Georgetown
Harrisburg – Williamsburg
It was most likely the longest part of our trip, maybe already a little bit too lang as there was almost no time to visit the different places.
Niagara Falls – Harrisburg
Day 10 with a long trip from Niagara Falls via Gettysburg to Harrisburg (some old sides from the civil war)
We are leaving Canada, travelling south. Once we had passed the border there was another opportunity to see the falls from a totally different angle. Even from a longer distance one can still see the falls due to the water spray above the ground.
Toronto – Niagara Falls
We spent our time with a long walk along the waterfront with great views of the falls. In the local IMAX theater we watched the IMAX film „Niagara“, which gives a good views from different angles on the falls.
Montréal – Ottawa
Had a very relaxing sunday in downtown Ottawa around the Parliament hill. Ottaway is great because of the near river with some waterfalls. This makes it nice to walk along the waterside and enjoy a day or two.
Acadia National Park – Québec
Today we made our way to Canada, passing the US border south of Québec. Apparently we were not really prepared for the situation that this is the french speaking part of the country where you can hardly order an Ice Cream in Mc Donalds when only talking english.
Boston – Bar Harbor
A nice short roundtrip by car and sunset on top of Cadillac Mountain. However, we should have spent more time here, as the park is great with such great nature and awesome places. It’s worth to spend some days here.
Hyannis – Boston / Peabody
Today it has been quite a short trip from Cape Cod to Boston, with the following stops:
New York – Cape Cod
Rundreise Ostküste – Etappe von New York City nach Cape Cod über New Haven, Yale University, New Port nach Cape Cod / Hyannis
Today, we had our day of the first road trip – from New York City to Cape Cod.
Heavy traffic when we left New York City northbound but this is just natural, I guess.
New York City
I should remember that it is really tough to drive into the City during rush hour (and I guess even if this is not the case it’s stressfull (at least for me)). But nevertheless, finally we found Manhattan, our hotel and a parking lot. Would be much easier without a navigation system.
