Our cruise ended in Quebec. We really enjoyed the journey with Royal Carribean. It was a beautiful itinerary, with charming and sweet ports and destinations. We were lucky with...

The museums in Washington are free. That's great, so the next day we went straight to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Great museum! It starts with...

For 8 nights we have now settled in Washington. The room is well located, a few meters to the bus to the city center and the landlords are very nice. Only problem: it is very...

... but we've been staying with friends for a week now and haven't done much. Most important event: the camper is at the harbor, cleared by customs, it's driving at least short...

Our next stop was the Adirondack Mountains in the state of New York, USA. We decided against the city of Toronto and the touristy Niagara Falls in favor of nature. So we crossed...

After the big city of Chicago, we were drawn back to nature. Along the way to the east is the Algonquin Provincial Park, which is conveniently located. But even a detour would...

After a wonderful week in our lakeside house, we continued south. In the ugly industrial city of International Falls, we wanted to cross the border into the USA. So far, this...

Sausage with sauerkraut .... American-style as a hot dog

The presumed last visit to a national park on our trip took us to North Dakota, to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It is named in honor of the American president. Roosevelt...

As the conclusion of our journey through Indian reservations, the prairie, and buffaloes, we went to the most famous chapter of Indian history: the Little Bighorn. The place is...

Sometimes the journey is the destination. In this vast country, that is currently true. Of course, we already have a few destinations we are heading to. The often very long...

Our last major stop in Colorado was Rocky Mountains National Park. A stunning landscape, towering mountains, and abundant wildlife. What we didn't know before was that a few...

For three days we returned to Salt Lake City. On the first evening we watched a tough women's soccer match between Utah and Orlando. Orlando won because of a penalty kick, which...

The Glacier National Park in Montana/USA was the final stop of our tour through the great and famous national parks of North America. As mentioned before, it is the southern...

Naturally, we also wanted to visit a rodeo on our way through the "Wild West". What could be closer than considering the largest rodeo in the world, the Calgary Stampede? The...

After our big Gathering of Nations in Albuquerque, we visited a small powwow in Banff. In the meantime, we have learned a little more about the types of dances. Even among...

It's completely stupid, but if you want to see Moraine Lake near the equally famous Lake Louise, you have to be there by 8am at the latest. After that, the parking lots are full...

A few weeks ago, I read that you can hike to a lake in Yoho National Park that only a few people visit. As a hiker or camper, you can reserve a bus that takes you to the lake....

For a few hours we were in Whistler, the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics. It is a very beautiful small town with a real pedestrian zone. Of course, we visited the Medal Plaza,...

On our way to Canada, we visited a very large Boeing assembly plant just before the border. 35,000 people work there in 3 shifts. We visited not only the museum but also the...

We have been in Olympic National Park for two days now, and it's a place like I have never seen before, and it has impressed me a lot. The national park is located on a...

With an elevation of 4,392 meters, Mt. Rainier is not only the highest peak in the western USA, but also the mountain with the most glaciers (excluding Alaska, of course). It is...

The first Starbucks ☕️

Portland in Oregon was our next destination. Mainly because football is played there. There is a men's and a women's team, and both have an average of 20,000 spectators. Of...

Today the weather was bad, rain, hail, thunderstorms, and some sun. We took a small tour through Yellowstone National Park and looked at some bubbling mudholes. Be glad there is...

... or the answer to why we take the sabbatical year. Ever since I watched the movie 'The Horse Whisperer' with Robert Redford and a very young Scarlett Johansson, I wanted to...
