After we came down from North Carolina to Louisiana, I had to wait a week for the first time in Mandeville, until I finally was shown for the first time New Orleans.

After a terrible night at New York airport, kamen wir um 8:00 in the morning to New York City. About the journey from the airport into the city we will not even start talking: Ich sag nur völlig überfüllte U-Bahn umgeben von auf ein niederprasselnden neuen Eindrücken in Form von Menschen und Werbung…
