Roadtrippin' III

America was a mixed bag of everything for me. Some of my presumptions were met, some not, some things did manage to surprise me while others were shocking. Overall I think I can easily say that I liked it way better than I thought I would. Am I going to visit again? Certainly. Could I imagine to live over there? Why not, Boston seemed like a wonderful city to live in.

Then again it's hard to imagine what it would be like to actually live over there, my whole trip was far to fast-paced to come to a certain conclusion. Just to give you an example - when I left from Germany it was my plan to try as many burger joints as possible when over there, mainly because you can't get decent burgers in Germany and I do love burgers. This turned out to be an easy thing to do, I tried countless of those joints and pretty much each and everyone of them was better than what you can get over here.

On the opposite side though I have to say that I never tried to actually get something we Germans wouldn't call junk-food and apparently I never even saw a restaurant in which I thought they'd serve something else than junk-food. I am sure this is just an impression and surely the wrong one, but they definitely got a lot of junk-food places there.




Look at that picture! Isn't it just beautiful? Look at those signs! They're all over the place, just like you'd have imagined from the movies, television and pictures/press. They are so beautiful, I could have demounted dozends of them and shipped them over here to Germany in order to brighten up our cities. I love them and I've missed them ever since I am back in Germany. There is nothing you can find over here, that is even remotely as beautiful.

This particular picture shows "Claiborne Liquors" in Buffalo, New York. The "Try our..." picture up there was shot in Buffalo as well by the way.




I hit Cleveland and with it the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame on September 11th, hence the flag. Cleveland was a nice start for me, but there would be several cities on my route that I'd enjoy way more...
