I am made of snow, I know, but this place is nowhere near as cold as I was hoping. Next time, it`ll be North Dakota, or Canada. Or Alaska. Winter keeps disappointing me.

You did just miss the snow, and it's a bit late at this latitude and altitude for serious winter. You might find what you're looking for up Mount Washington. Easy drive.

Looks like snow is in the forecast for Buffalo on Sunday.  You literally just missed the fun.

You hit during our warm streak. It's been above freezing for days, the longest streak since December, I think. And only a dusting of snow, I'm pretty disappointed with the turn in the weather.

Cheddar, I feel dirty for "skipping" you.

But seriously, those 32 hours in Virginia were pretty emo. You really wouldn't have liked me at all. And I well, had to.. cram so many things into 32 hours. Something, of course, I didn't even get close to achieve.

And what's wrong, Signe? I am back here in Crapland! The only good thing left to this parody of a nation is the landscape, and I saw it all. Feck!
(Plus, I am back to work actually. But that's beyond the point...)

You know what's funny? Somehow in those 30 hours we've been "sent" to fetch some weed in Virginia beach for a glorious old lady you couldn't say no to.
And I don't even smoke!

Of course it will. And you know why? Cause I'll keep coming back!

Actually, it's a shame no one here can read my 6-chaptered travel chronicles (they are in Italian). I guess it could be mildly amusing to read my  why so serious? take on the U. S. of A.

You could at least provide a summary.  Still love your pics though.

Haha! Sounds fun. Here are the first few lines. Let's see how this pans out:


The U. S. of A. - Chapter 1

20 february 2009 - 16:10

Rise in flight from Philadelphia in the evening made me realize how ambitious and unstoppable threat is human. Not one inch without light, several millimeters so 'full of light to illuminate my face even from up here'. In all directions, and for every one hundred kilometers separate two huge should City '. But not separate. Connected by thick cables enlightened as blood or shit show me after a fact of jostling and gomitate.

Heh, awesome  awesome, for real.

You really should post us a summary of your log, would be interesting to read.  Or at least post it all online so I can run it through the fun online translator in my spare time :p

And man, if that was your impression flying into Philadelphia, your going to be floored if you ever fly into LA.  THAT is the scariest clusterfuck of light creep you'll ever see.  The whole mass of city is litterally hundreds of miles.

Not at all.
But in the middle of my Virginia time that happened too. It was quick, and I was just an observer of the whole thing.

Anyway, translating the chronicles in full is not an option. They are LONG, and the language is poetic enough that I wouldn't even know where to start translating.
I could do a English only redux of it eventually, and I was thinking about it just to make you all laugh (as I probably would by reading yours after just 9 days in Rome).

Here's a teaser of the photos though.

Since I am taking off again tomorrow, destination USA (again, but different), I thought the most "me" thing to do would be posting pictures of my February expedition. Upcoming trip's pictures will evetually be delayed until 2010, when I'll be flying to Japan, or Canada.

Great shots Falconeer, really great, made me feel proud to be an American (no lie) and I'm not just talking about the food.

Oh thank god, for a second I thought it was mayonnaise, in which case Falc would need to die, preferably in a car fire.
