Goodbye Seattle! Thanks for your heart-warming hospitality, Katy and Kristen!
Here it is. One of my favorite photos from my previous trip to Seattle.
Near Pike Place Market.
Chicago so far in three words: Urban. Beach. Deep-dish.
This city seems to have it all. All I want. Going out and chatting in a bar. Taking the architecture boat ride. Hanging out on the beach. Food! And much more. I’ve been very busy the last couple of days but I’m clearly having a really great time and can’t believe half of my time is over already. I know one thing, I’ll be back.

May this journey begin.
I’m not exactly traveling space, but I will land this afternoon in Chi-Town O’Hare. Fingers crossed that my super-short layover in Dusseldorf is not a problem. Here some fun facts for the airport-short cut savvy and jet lag cure experts…
My flight itinerary: VIE - DUS, DUS - ORD.
Expected travel duration: 11 hours and 15 minutes.
Time zone difference: 7 hours.
Expected visits to the restroom once airborne: 2 (because with an empty bladder one can run faster) and 5 respectively.

Overlooking San Francisco from one of the hills of Twin Peaks as the fog rolls in into the city. Man, I get goose bumps from just looking at the shot. What great memories…
Found this shot of my host cousin as I gave some tips to a friend who is taking on a big adventure. A trip around the world with a stop on the West Coast of California, that is. Good Luck, my friend!
Interesting feature on nytimes.com about a 24-year-old whose parents are very well-off living the American dream. After graduating from college, this young man can’t find a job and talks about his outlook having difficulties to do as well as his parents.
