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

Empire State Building
View from Williamsburg Bridge
9/11 Memorial
South Street Seaport
Macy's Flower Show
Macy's - The World Largest Store

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
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
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
