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

The main partthe trip startedNew Jersey, then across Pennsylvania to upstate New York, where one can't skip
Niagara
this time withwalk to Canadian provinceOntario

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

Lunch with a view to Lake Michigan
Wisconsin
Just passing through, butsunset that somebody had prepared for us atwelcome center next to I-39 is definitely worth mentioning.

Stonehenge?
Minnesota
Mainly Minneapolis and Saint Paul. I saw Mississippi River forfirst timemy 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
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas City

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...
St. Louis, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia

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

St. Louis

Getaway Arch, St. Louis

Motel in Pocahontas

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

Pittsburgh by night

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