America’s south. Lively New Orleans, rather sleepy Memphis. Along the Mississippi River. On the traces of eventful episodes of American history. Events still strongly influencing todays life.
Crossing Texas from West to East. Strange towns, a weird city and finally a great idea on how to continue our trip. Thank you, NASA for the support.
Thru the desert of New Mexico and Texas’ west. Lonely landsacapes full of flowers, pretty rough’n’rundown villages.
Out of Las Vegas. South-east to the Mexicyn border. Small towns; desert; some national parks; America western style. Few Mexicans.

Out of Alaska Another circle in Alaska: Denali Highway, an aerial view of the Kluane Icefield and the long way to British Columbia, Canada. Talkeetna, 4th July The glacier walk on McCarthy’s Root Glacier is history. The crampons are off and were back in the village.The next day still beautiful weather. Something must be wrong…
