American Portraits, USA Road-Trip: Northeast
And we are back so let’s hit the ground driving with the first set of American ‘portraits’ from the USA road-trip(s): first off, the Northeast.

To DC: Still sleeping in a car – and it’s no longer a minivan
28th March Day 3 on the road. Tired already – which is never a good sign this early in the trip. We left on Monday 26th, end afternoon. Many things weren’t ready so to speak, including ‘real’ work – that is, ‘jobs’ (both Redrik and I work part-time gigs which help keep us going, despite … Read more

This is the first video of ooamerica part 2 – a re-intro focused on the theme: “What’s your philosophy?” Driving through New Jersey to the Welding Room radio studios, then whizzing by Philadelphia.

ooamerica USA road-trip: part 2, itinerary
This is the planned (general) itinerary for the second leg of the road-trip, which is coming up shortly! There’s wheel-room for nooks and turns, and a bit of adventure… although the general directions are a bit more determined than the last journey, since I’m really trying to visit the states not yet seen.

The diaries – Gloomy return from test drive
April 6th, 2011 I have learned the verdict and “it is not good.” Yet still I carry on unaffected, sending money which I can’t well consider mine down the drain! In the mechanic’s own words, “this would be the last time I spend money on this car.” Unfortunate words, it is a week old, and … Read more
The diaries – Philly steak and engine heat / leak
Waking up in a motel in New Castle, Delaware (April 6). I almost ended up with a bust engine on the emergency lane of the freeway, having to call 911 or a tow truck (with no valid L?). April 1, 2011 An April’s fool? Spent day walking in cold rainy streets of Stam, car is … Read more
