Flight to Seattle and arrival

Upon arrival on US soil, various security checks were carried out. I was able to answer all the usual questions like 'How long will you stay? What are you doing here? Do you have family here?' so the officer gave me back my signed papers with a wink and said he would love to be young again to take a trip like this.... ;)

I had checked in my large backpack and when I picked it up from the baggage carousel, I headed towards the train station and saw a beautiful sunset along the way.

I got off at my hostel. After walking in circles a few times and still not finding it, I approached passers-by - Americans are just very friendly! When I arrived at the hostel, I sorted my things and repacked a bit, and now after 22 hours without sleep, I am going to bed. The clocks will be set to winter time tonight, so for the sake of my jet lag, I will try to stay awake as long as possible....
