<p>So long, North America, and thanks for all the great, unforgettable, unique and bizarre places, people and moments; it was a fantastic journey. But after four months we are also happy to come home again.</p>
<p><strong>Looking forward to, back in Germany:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>German bread and beer</li>
<li>clean and palatable tap water</li>
<li>an opulent and very diverse breakfast (not exactly the same every day: eggs + toast + hashbrowns + sausage or bacon)</li>
<li>drinking coffee from cups made of china, with spoons made of metal</li>
<li>no more Oreo cookies (we ate tons of them when we were on the road)</li>
<li>broad Autobahn lanes with sleek asphalt you can drive fast on</li>
<li>no more driving slalom around trash and shredded truck tires on the highway</li>
<li>sleeping longer than 11 a.m. check out time</li>
<li>uncommercial TV channels</li>
<li>cell phone reception everywhere</li>
<li>the safe feeling knowing that other clients in e.g. a gas station very likely wear no guns</li>
<li>the safe feeling walking through a forest, not having to watch out for bears and moose</li>
<li>no mosquito hords in summer</li>
<li>non-air-conditioned rooms with fresh air thanks to openable windows</li>
<li><a target="_blank" title="http://finomat.de/" href="http://finomat.de/">our Finomat</a>!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Back home we will miss from North America:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>the wide wilderness of Canada and Alaska</li>
<li>the amazing and manifold national park sceneries of the U.S.</li>
<li>the open, friendly and helpful way we were treated everywhere (not a matter of course in Germany, we try to take these good manners with us)</li>
<li>the cheap gas and the cheap Dollar</li>
<li>not one single traffic jam in Canada (except for Toronto to Niagara Falls on Canada Day)</li>
<li>the indication of the point of the compass direction on highway signs (in Germany they just display the names of larger cities, so you have to know the location of cities to find the right direction)</li>
<li>the many unlocked Wi-Fi spots</li>
<li>the feeling of being completely on your own with no cell phone reception in a radius of 1,000 km</li>
<li>the thrill of coming across a dangerous bear or moose in the woods</li>
<li>Oberto Beef Jerky, a delicious dried meat snack, available at any gas station</li>
<li>the bearable music on the radio (don&#8217;t switch on the radio when you go to Germany)</li>
</ul>

<p><font color="#9153F6">Adieu Nordamerika und vielen Dank für all die großartigen, unvergeßlichen, einzigartigen und skurrilen Orte, Menschen und Momente; es war eine fantastische Reise. Aber nach vier Monaten sind wir auch froh, wieder nach Hause zu kommen.</font></p>
<p><strong><font color="#9153F6">Worauf wir uns zu Hause freuen:</font></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><font color="#9153F6">deutsches Brot und Bier</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">sauberes, geniessbares Kranwasser</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">ausgiebig und abwechslungsreich zu frühstücken (nicht jeden Tag genau dasselbe: Spiegelei mit Toast, Bratkartoffeln und Würstchen oder Speck)</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">Kaffeetrinken aus Porzellantassen, mit Metalllöffeln</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">endlich keine Oreo-Kekse mehr (hatten wir immer für Hungersnöte im Auto und aßen Tonnen davon)</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">breite Autobahnfahrstreifen mit schnell befahrbarem Asphalt</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">kein Slalomfahren um zerfetzte LKW-Reifen auf der Autobahn</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">Länger als bis 11 Uhr schlafen (Motel-Check-Out-Zeit)</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">unkommerzielle Fernsehsender wie Arte und WDR gucken (aber auch das liebevoll dilettantische Center-TV Düsseldorf)</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">wieder überall Handyempfang zu haben</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">das sichere Gefühl, dass andere Kunden in z.B. einer Tankstelle höchstwahrscheinlich keine Waffe tragen</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">das sichere Gefühl, im Wald nicht auf gefährliche Bären und Elche treffen zu können</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">keine Moskitohorden im Sommer</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">nicht-klimatisierte Räume mit Frischluft dank zu öffnender Fenster</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6"><a target="_blank" title="http://finomat.de/" href="http://finomat.de/">Unseren Finomat</a>!</font></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><font color="#9153F6">Was wir aus Nordamerika vermissen werden:</font></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><font color="#9153F6">die weite Wildnis Kanadas und Alaskas</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">die unglaublich vielfältige Natur der US-Nationalparks</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">die offene, freundliche, hilfsbereite Art, mit der wir überall empfangen wurden (keine Selbstverständlichkeit in Deutschland, wir wollen versuchen, diese positive Eigenschaft mitzunehmen)</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">das billige Benzin und den billigen Dollar</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">kein einziger Verkehrsstau in Kanada (außer von Toronto zu den Niagarafällen am Kanada-Gründungsfeiertag)</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">die Angabe der Himmelsrichtung auf Highway-Schildern (sinnvoller als die deutsche Lösung nur Städte als Richtungsangabe auf Autobahnschildern zu listen und vorauszusetzen, dass jeder deren geografische Lage kennt)</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">die vielen offenen W-Lan-Netze</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">das Gefühl, völlig auf sich allein gestellt zu sein, weil man keinen Handyempfang im Umkreis von 1.000 km hat</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">den Nervenkitzel, im Wald einem gefährlichen Bären oder Elch begegnen zu können</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">Oberto Beef Jerky, einen leckeren Snack aus getrocknetem Fleisch, den man an jeder Tankstelle kaufen konnte</font></li>
<li><font color="#9153F6">die weitaus erträglichere Musik im Radio (haben schon wieder Angst vor dem Müll auf 1Live &#038; Co.)</font></li>
</ul>

<p>But most of all we will miss our new friend Angel from Seattle.

<p>The last part from Boston to Montréal (500 km / 310 mi) seemed to us as short as driving home from Cologne to Düsseldorf (40 km / 25 mi). Perfect parting weather, it rained in torrents all day. It was one of about three rainy days in four month.</p>
<p><font color="#9153F6">Das letzte Stück von Boston zurück nach Montréal (500 km) kam uns vor wie mal eben von Köln nach Düsseldorf  (40 km) nach Hause zu fahren. Perfektes Abschiedswetter, den ganzen Tag regnete es in Strömen. Es war einer von ungefähr drei Regentagen in vier Monaten.</font></p>
<p><img decoding="async" alt="USA-Canada-US-Canadian-Border-Control-near-St-Armand-Quebec-DSCN8940.jpg" id="image2508" src="http://blog.petaflop.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/usa-canada-us-canadian-border-control-near-st-armand-quebec-dscn8940.jpg" /></p>
<p>At the U.S. border crossing, near the Canadian Philipsburg resp. St. Armand in Quebec</p>
<p><font color="#9153F6">Am US-Grenzübergang, nahe dem kanadischen Philipsburg bzw. St. Armand in Quebec</font></p>
<p><img decoding="async" id="image2515" alt="Visa-Passport-Stamps-Poker-Creek-US-Border-Alaska-BC-Denali-St-Armand-Philipsburg-Quebec-Canada-Vermont-USA-DSCN9870.jpg" src="http://blog.petaflop.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/visa-passport-stamps-poker-creek-us-border-alaska-bc-denali-st-armand-philipsburg-quebec-canada-vermont-usa-dscn9870.jpg" /></p>
<p>Again we elaborately had to explain to the friendly border official why and where Germans are driving a car with a U.S. license plate. She checked our passports and when she saw the moose stamp of <a title="http://blog.petaflop.de/2007/08/08/day-32-top-of-the-world-highway-taylor-highway-tok/" target="_blank" href="http://blog.petaflop.de/2007/08/08/day-32-top-of-the-world-highway-taylor-highway-tok/">Poker Creek</a>, a far away Alaskan U.S. border control point, she &#8220;had to show it to her colleages&#8221; and moved away to the back for two minutes while a long line of cars was waiting behind us. They had never seen this stamp before here on the East Coast. We started our journey in Canada to enter the U.S.A. not until the second month of travel. Otherwise we would have had to go to Berlin to the U.S. embassy before to get visas for a stay longer than 90 days. Today we left the United States with a stamp 87 days old. Later at the Canadian border control they didn&#8217;t want to search our Ford as always. We passed several cars being turned inside out. Our fully packed filthy station wagon seemed daunting.</p>
<p><font color="#9153F6">Der freundlichen Grenzerin mussten wir wieder breit erklären, wieso und wo wir als Deutsche einen Wagen mit US-Nummernschild fahren. Als Sie in unseren Pässen den Elch-Stempel des entlegenen alaskanischen Grenzpostens <a title="http://blog.petaflop.de/2007/08/08/day-32-top-of-the-world-highway-taylor-highway-tok/" target="_blank" href="http://blog.petaflop.de/2007/08/08/day-32-top-of-the-world-highway-taylor-highway-tok/">Poker Creek</a> sah, musste sie, trotz langer Auto-Warteschlange hinter uns, zwei Minuten „nach hinten, um das ihren Kollegen zu zeigen“. Hatten sie hier noch nie gesehen, an der Ostküste. Die Reise fingen wir in Kanada an um erst nach einem Monat nach Alaska und damit in die USA einzureisen.  So sparten wir uns die Beschaffung von zusätzlichen Visa in Berlin, die man für Aufenthalte von mehr als 90 Tagen braucht. Heute verliessen wir die USA mit einem 87 Tage alten Stempel. Später an der kanadischen Grenzstation wurden wir wie immer durchgewunken und fuhren an mehreren Wagen vorbei, die gerade gefilzt wurden. Der vollgepackte, versiffte Kombi wirkte wohl auch hier abschreckend.</font></p>

<p>On the ground a red line goes through the old parts of Boston and leads along historical points of interest. For sure a good idea many tourists are thankful for.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saturday, 20. October 2007, New York, USA</p>
<p><img decoding="async" id="image2469" src="http://blog.petaflop.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/i-love-ny-new-york-t-shirt-male-cyan-blue-female-purple-dscn9646.jpg" alt="I-love-NY-New-York-T-Shirt-male-cyan-blue-female-purple-DSCN9646.jpg" /></p>
<p>Of all cities we&#8217;ve seen on our travel New York is the only one we would really like to live in. We both have been here several times before and it&#8217;s always different. There&#8217;s so much to see and the people are the most open minded in the world, they&#8217;ve seen it all. New York really is the city of cities, the hub of the world. After seeing that much of the U.S.A. we can surely say: New York is not America.</p>
<p><span style="color: #9153f6;">Von allen Städten unserer Reise ist New York die einzige, in der wir gerne leben würden. Wir waren beide vorher schon mehrmals hier und es ist jedesmal anders. Es gibt unglaublich viel zu sehen und die Leute sind die tolerantesten der Welt; sie haben schon alles gesehen. New York ist wirklich die Stadt der Städte, der Nabel der Welt. Nachdem wir so viel von den U.S.A. gesehen haben steht vor allem eins fest: New York ist nicht Amerika.</span></p>
<p><img decoding="async" id="image2459" src="http://blog.petaflop.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/south-lower-manhattan-skyline-view-from-brooklyn-new-york-ny-usa-dscn8755.jpg" alt="South-Lower-Manhattan-Skyline-View-from-Brooklyn-New-York-NY-USA-DSCN8755.jpg" /></p>
<p>View from Brooklyn at Lower Manhattan, the south end of the peninsula which was colonised first in the 17th century. Before that Dutch maritime explorer Peter Minuit from Wesel (today Germany) acquired &#8220;Manahata&#8221; (means island of many hills) from native people in exchange for trade goods worth 60 guilders. The Dutch named the city New Amsterdam until it was conquered by the English in 1664 who renamed it to New York.</p>
<p><span style="color: #9153f6;">Blick von Brooklyn auf Lower Manhattan, das Südende der Halbinsel, welches im 17. Jahrhundert zuerst besiedelt wurde. Zuvor hatte der Seefahrer Peter Minuit aus dem damals noch niederländischen Wesel 1626 mit hier lebenden Indianern &#8220;Manahata&#8221; (was soviel wie hügeliges Land bedeutet) gegen Handelsgüter im Wert von 60 Gulden getauscht. Die Holländer nannten die Stadt Neu-Amsterdam bis sie 1664 von den Engländern erobert und in New York umgetauft wurde.</span></p>

<p>On the waterfront: 120 Wall Street (left) und Continental Center (right). The skyscraper canyon on the left is the Wall Street. At that level Dutch governor Petrus Stuyvesant had a rampart built in 1652, through whole Manhattan from the east to the west. The inhabited south ougth to be protected from indian attacks from the north. &#8220;Wal&#8221; is dutch for rampart, that&#8217;s where the name Wall Street comes from.</p>
<p><span style="color: #9153f6;">Nah am Wasser gebaut: 120 Wall Street (links) und Continental Center (rechts). Die linke Hochhausschlucht ist die Wall Street. Auf dieser Höhe liess der niederländische Gouverneur Petrus Stuyvesant 1652 über die gesamte Breite Manhattans von Ost nach West einen Wall (niederländisch „Wal“) zum Schutz des bewohnten Südens gegen indianische Überfälle von Norden errichten. Daher stammt der Name.</span></p>

When it was built in 1880 it was the first New York building to house luxury apartments for more than one tenant. Before that wealthy people didn&#8217;t share one roof.</p>

Er wohnte hier mit Yoko Ono, die auch heute noch in dem Apartment lebt. Boris Karloff, Judy Garland und Leonard Bernstein wohnten auch mal hier und Polanskis Film „Rosemaries Baby“ spielt im Haus und wurde auch darin gedreht.
