Auf dem Weg nach Las Vegas habe ich in Lone Pine einen Zwischenstopp eingelegt und das Death Valley besucht. Und wie zu vermuten es war Tod 😅. Außer ein paar Adlern, die das...

Looks like you pay pharmacy prices here. Never paid more than $40 for gas for all my cars on the whole trip. Here we paid $80! We actually didn't intend to buy gas station.

Almost the end 😢

If you're going to San Francisco... I already knew the city from my first trip to the USA in 2013. The Cable Cars, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the coastal feeling are definitely...

Today it's back! Unbelievable how short 25 days can be! We are all a bit wistful, somehow we have learned to love the country and its people despite all the "impossibilities"....

The three days at Tom's were simply necessary. After seeing so much, the mind needs some rest. However, I still missed my car. I enjoyed the time being together with friends. We...

This day consisted of surfing - early in the morning and in the afternoon. Why? Because the waves are better then, you know... At noon, you literally get fried by the sun. So,...

Benchmark Brewing Co. My first stop in sunny San Diego was Benchmark Brewing. Brewmaster and co-founder Matt showed me around their nice 10hl brewery. The brew kettle is...
