We were also really excited about some of the birds of prey they had and the otters. My focus was on animal portraits this time, so here are some of my fav...

Visa, road-trip, move, new country and a new city, that’s what’s been going on in the last six months, and why it’s been a bit quiet :)

Chicago, it's all about surviving the winter, admiring the architecture, and eating lots and lots of hots dogs and pizza.

I'll admit, I was a bit sceptical about the Chicago style deep dish pizza... But had one today for lunch at Giordano's... And let's just say, that there will be a lot of visits to that place in the up coming weeks. I'm now sold on the deep-dish pizza!

Saw this on the outside wall of a bank in Dusseldorf. Translations is roughly on the lines of

"This fairy tale will never come true. Life teaches you to be smart and save."

It's an old German folk character called Dukatenscheisser (let's translate that as money p**per for now to avoid censorship), with an important message, you'll never be able to p**p coins, so you'll need save. But the question is, is this just a really old viral advert for a bank?
