Chicago Pics

Look at the beautiful Chicago!!

Definitely with some stories to tell:

• Cancellation of the return flight
• How to see the first live Ice Hockey game with a Brazilian
• Eating Tapas with 2 Americans
• The amazing story of a guy that at the end asked me: Do you know Jesus Christ??
• And more...

Philadelphia and snow....

Below you could find some pics from Philadelphia and also from the snow in Virginia....

Interesting that to go to Philadelphia I needed to cross 4 States (not taken into consideration DC):
Virginia
Maryland
Delaware (the 2nd smallest State)
Pennsylvania

It took me a little bit less than 3 hours to make the trip...one way...
I managed to do it both ways in the same day...

Philadelphia was nice (I must confess, not so nice as Boston)

Main Highlights:
Independence Hall (were they signed the independence agreement)
Liberty Bell
Stairs of Rocky (Actually is a very famous Museum with an amazing view over the city)

It's also on of the few cities in the US where you managed to visit everything, without needing a car.

PS: look at the portuguese "Galo de Barcelos" in one of the pics:)

Last movies seen

"Last King of Scotland"... One of my favorites this year (06)!!

"Ghost Rider"... The Marvel comic.. in this case with Nicolas Cage (the movie: bahhhhhhh)

"The mysteries of Egypt".. IMAX in Philadelphia... I never been in such teather... inside the museum, that was just amazing... I got shaky and dizzy with it.... It was like been inside a big (put huge) globe.. half of it with the projection of the screen (so you need it to look down, to sides or up.. the scope was to much...)

Philadelphia

Yesterday I was in Philadelphia...
What we could call the "Guimaraes" of the USA...

Everyone might be doing funny faces....
And I give them credit for it.


This meant a ~3 hours drive, each way, but was worthwhile...
At the beginning I must admit was disappointed, but was a sort of a crescendo... finishing at the Rocky stairs:)

Pictures will come in the next days, weeks or months....

First Pictures

Most of the pictures from Boston (great city-I spent there the weekend)… is really freezing out there….
The snow is from where I’m staying.. Fairfax, Virginia State, close to Washington…

The final outcome is Yes!

Finally time to say YES!
As I mentioned to someone... if the answer will have been no... I didn't wish to go back at least in the next 10 years to Portugal...
