Rose Hall Great House
Beautiful flowers, a nice 30 degree day and an annoying driver who keeps on asking for more money... Jamaican feeling I guess ;-)

Welcome to La Romana, Domenican Republic
Very unusual to take a cab at this airport- but the cab driver gave me his card of course so I can give him a call on the way back or maybe ...

Balanced Lifestyle in NYC - a contradiction in itself?

Snow in the city
Ok, granted there was some....
Wonderfully colored eggs
Wonder who made them ;-) U unfortunately the snow was so deep out in Long Island that we could not get the food cart out of its storage and...
And this is where the eggs & cookies are coming to a good use
After painting and decorating what felt like 2000 bags, we set it out for people to come by an pick it up. And they made good use of that.
Getting up to 125th street...
Was actually not too hard- minor delays but the subway is running ok. It looks beautiful out- nice and sunny...

Go Ravens
Although Baltimore had been leading by so much they almost lost in the end. The 49ers must have pulled the plug for the power outage after a...
The bar where we ended up watching
At least the first half- till the beyonce show and then the power blackout - amazing things happen in the US. Really seems like a third worl...
