Prt Scr + paint


As long as Sweden remain on this line of latitude I still dont agree on the metaphore Home sweet home. In other words, the trip was superfun. It was just like on TV. Actually, just a minute ago I saw tha exact same street in Miami that I was on 5 days ago, it was in the Cuban district :) Now they showed it again! Must be a great movie.

And this is a potpurrie of our first visit in the USA; South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.




A Chevrolet Caprice, finally! Here is our first stop, Hilton Head Island in good ol South Carolina! Beutiful surrondings, live oaks, palm trees, pine trees and looong beaches. And here everyone speaks really funny dialects. In Gerogia as well.




As if the fact that wall mart is huge wasen't enough, the cake fridges must match the size of the people. (This is not a mean thing to say, its a simple truth)





St.Patricks celebrations in Savannah, wikiwowow.

Savannah. Nice old houses and parks. Spring was on its way :)

What we did not know before entering the tree house hostel we were supposed to live in for 2 days was that is was also a chickens residence. So I was scared pretty much the whole stay. The boy in the pictrue was sleeping on a madress next to mee for 2 nights and he was the worst snorer i have ever heard.



But!, I learned to play pool :) we also went canoeing in the lake, and had a some time out in a huge glasshouse made for meditating and helped with vegan dinner for 30 eaters and had thankful moments (yes, we had to say things we were tahnkful for to get the meal) everynight before eating it.



Took a trip to fance pancy Jekyll island where plenty of old rich industry men had their summer houses back in the 1800.



Jekyll island beach.

Cumberland Island. What I had been waiting for all the time, a national seashoe island wih 200 wild horses and plnety of strange animals. We even saw the HOLLIDAY ARMADILLO!

an empty house. The island is uninhabbited. We bicykled about 1/4th of the island, that is about 20 km. aj aj aj.



Tailwind on the way back to the ferry, so fast!

Arriving in Orlando we noticed the whole city was turned upside down. Horrible!



a wished-for stay at the Sheplers store!

everything is big in the states


the cars too.


Finally on Key west. The bridges took about 3 hours. and all we found was... crap in the caribbean. I would not be against closing the bridges and letting the hippies rule the place. I can go to the real Cuba instead.

Miami beach. Art deco houses all over the place!


got too drunk at fancy Joes stone crab restaurant after waitin 1,5 hours in the bar just for getting a table. But it was totally worth it.


This is normal for the americans. If you dont have the enrgy to walk, take a permobil or what ever thay are called. For christ sake, do not waste any more calories than you have too.



Clubbing, Miami beach


Gulfstream park! Nice. We also went to a casino, but I rather not talk about that.
Watched baseball and ate hot dogs. 2 hours, and the Mets had 1 point. Pretty slow game.







Went to Coral gables in Miami and found a great venetzian pool








and the hotel i wanne spend weeks in. The Biltmore!








Hip hop clubs in Miami aren't hip hop clubs without the dancers. Magnus paradise.








we left Miami on a wednesday, the thursday was the start of a huge music convention that attracts musicpeople from everywhere! crappy thing we did not stay for another week. But we met the ones that arrived one day earlier to party (NY Dj's) yeah





Couldn't leave Miami without eating at Hannas gourmet diner. Sean Connerys hang out place.

Other places we have eaten: Dairy Queen, Versille, Wendys, dennys, IHOP (International House of pancakes), FAT BURGER (BEST BURGER EVER!!), Dunkin dounuts, KFC, Cracker Barrel, plenty of Cuban restaurants and a place called fockers something (they hade the best Milkshake!)

Rostock


A ticket to Rostock, Germany, from the Olsson family was taken care of. By me and Sofia. Rostock had not just low-price liquor to offer, also a very fun and beutiful christmas market with great german food (and stuff from and about Finland and scandinavia over all... why??)




Brussels

Finally the computer is back in business and I can now report my (10th?) Belgium-visit that took place back in November.

It was Sidneys birthday weekend and we arrived just in time for the party in Bever. Fun fun fun. After the party a supprise waited for us in the garden; a mobile home! a huge car with beds inside!

This was a dream come true to Magnus, a bit cold though.. especially when someone (SID!!) forgot that the heatgenerator was connected to something insdie the house that SOMEONE normally used to turn of at night...

Bever is a nice and calm place with one huge horse, two crazy donkeys, some goats, white rabits and hairy black pigs.

When we got to Antwerpen for the acid techno party it got to us that it was blown of becouse of some saftey blablabla. Anyway the police was very upsetso we tok the train back to Brussels where the part continued all night on a subway station that during the nights was turned in to a gret club!
When Lotta had some time off from her dutys at Mia and school she came downtown to join us. Weeeee!
yes, we visited the important people at the European Union blocks. They did a saftey check on us before we were alowed to enter!

Cloudy and cold days in Brussels could not stop us from having the best time. Brussels is enlighten by all the wall paintings of cartonns and just verywarm colours so it's not very hard to like it even during boring wintertime. And the great food and wine makes it an even better place.Two days in a row we ate fish and clams and drank wihte wine on the St. Catrhine square at Mateos, GREAT!







Thank you Lotta and Sidney for the best stay ever! you rules.
