Biking in NYC is different...
from Munich in many ways. One is that bikers are still considered a bit exotic here so that can be good and bad. The downside is that some ...
Survived our first outing...
And got a few compliments actually ;-) but also a few mean comments and honks from trucks or buses that didn't like us in their lanes......

At 230 Fifth Avenue- probably the most known (but also really large- can fit up to 1000 people according to their website) rooftop bar. Appa...

Fortune telling @ the little mermaid's
No cookies though but a little plastic fish that you have to keep in your palm for some time and depending on how it moves you will be. Mine...

Capitol Hill
What a nice view from the terrace of the Newseum in Washington D.C. I could almost smell the history in this city- will have to come back fo...
Obama- the digital president
And from what I learned today he will be backed up again by Mark Zuckerberg - and we know how influential facebook is these days. So fingers...
The real TV transmission antenna from the world trade center
On loan from NYC now in the Newseum- which by the way is really worth a visit, even if you do not work in communications!
