Rasťo got something for me

Gate 21, Schwechat Airport

Only a single piece of Rasťo's gifts got to me

Princeton

Big tree at the entrance to the university

Roof

University Chapel

Squirrel

Spring is here

This reminds me of gargoyles on St. Vitus Cathedral, although this one is apparently only ornamental

Bust of A. Einstein near town hall

Princeton
Breathtaking view to Manhattan

Downtown Manhattan

Liberty Park, New Jersey

Liberty Park, New Jersey

Liberty Park, New Jersey
Dinner in a Japanese restaurant, three attempts to get a tattoo, ...

Sake

Selden
I did not participate much in this part - strolling the city and shopping, Macy's Flower Show, Rockefeller Center, Statue of Liberty, Central Park, WTC and Downtown, etc...

Empire State Building

View from Williamsburg Bridge

9/11 Memorial

South Street Seaport

Macy's Flower Show

Macy's - The World Largest Store

Central Park

Central Park

St. Patrick's Cathedral

New York City at night

Rockefeller Center

Four World Trade Center

The new Freedom Tower

Statue of Liberty seen from ferry boat

Downtown Manhattan & Statue of Liberty
a place to sleep for two nights, thanks to a friend

View from window

Last glimpse at Manhattan while heading North-West
The main part of the trip started in New Jersey, then across Pennsylvania to upstate New York, where one can't skip
this time with a walk to Canadian province of Ontario

Tu býva Jozef - v domčeku pod vodopádom, je tam strašne vlhko a vo dne v noci tam počuť hukot padajúcej vody

But to Canada we will have to walk

On the Rainbow Bridge between New York State and Ontario

...and then, they kicked us out of Canada (just some of us, to be precise, and just for awhile - we had to walk back the mile to parking lot to get papers from our car)

Second walk to Canada

Niagara

Still fairly frozen

Birds

Returning from Canada
We continue in WSW direction by the Lake Erie, through New York and Pennsylvania to Ohio, where we shortly stop in Cleveland, the city that played a role in Slovak history.

Welcome in Pennsylvania (again)

The memorable town of Mentor ahead

Fifth Third Bank :-)

Cleveland

We can't see that in New York - on the whole Long Island, maximum is 55
another stop on our trip

A glimpse from a distance, taken from a car with zoom, but a nice angle

Navy Pier

The Cloud Gate is amazing, Sir Anish Kapoor is a genius

Cloud Gate

Cloud Gate in Chicago

Chicago

Chicago

Chicago

University Club of Chicago

A street and the Lake

The Crown Fountain

New head in the park

Chicago has its own history - signs like this are posted almost everywhere

Chicago

Lunch with a view to Lake Michigan
Just passing through, but the sunset that somebody had prepared for us at the welcome center next to I-39 is definitely worth mentioning.

Sunset in Wisconsin
Mainly Minneapolis and Saint Paul. I saw Mississippi River for the first time in my life.

Minnesota

Minneapolis

Basilica of Saint Mary - the first basilica established in US

Well placed ad - Tired of playing with yourself?

This reminds me of paneláky in Czechoslovakia

Mine has an avenue

Mississippi River

Cathedral of Saint Paul

St Paul, as well as Minneapolis, is all around connected with "streets" above streets - very useful in the winter

Yet in Minnesota

We have seen many such a road

Amish Country, Iowa

Beautiful Amish Store

Kansas City, Missouri - spring in a full bloom

Old railroad bridge over Kansas River with a view of downtown Kansas City (Missouri) as seen from Kansas City (Kansas)

Kansas City, Kansas

In the whole Missouri, they have some letter coded messages on the traffic signs, which we could not figure out.

Meanwhile at a gas pump somewhere in Missouri...

Just before Saint-Louis we got stuck in traffic...had to take a detour

St. Louis

Getaway Arch, St. Louis

Motel in Pocahontas

Indiana

Cross at the Crossroads - 198-foot tall, one of the world's largest crosses

Are we in America? Or? A billboard near I-70 in Columbus, Ohio.

Noah?

A bit blurry proof that we've been to West Virginia. To tell the truth, the appearance of WV took me by surprise. I might need to work a bit on my geography skills.

Did we get lost?

Pittsburgh by night

For my friends in Slovakia (and Europe in general) - compare octane numbers and price per gallon (1 gal = 3.78 l).
On the way to airport

One of the most recognized symbols

City Hall

Independence Hall

Philadelphia

Declaration House
At the airport we got some drinks at the only possible place - two terminals away :-( simply a terrible airport
Back on the old continent

Pucks arrived
New Jersey, New York, back to New Jersey, then Pennsylvania, again New York, walk to Ontario (Canada), back to New York, again Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania.
