For the past 3-4 days a cold front arrived in the Dells. No, it’s not overcast. The weather is splendid, but at 8 o clock in the morning a t-shirt is not enough anymore. I had to put my sweatshirt on yesterday … in the middle of freaking August! with ...
Hy mom, hi dad, hello other daily 251 unique visitors, As I have previously stated, I'll try to update the blog with our faces (some said to hold up today's paper in one of the pictures just to be sure). We're alright, unharmed and unbruised. We bought bikes on our first day but ...
After three years I can safely say I have found the most versatile backpack of them all. Maybe not the best but for sure the most usefull. It's the LowePro Compuday Pack. It has: - a laptop compartment that can accommodate two (2) ...
Because nothing has changed in the last few days. Because I haven't had time to take new pictures. Because the old ones are not even close to blog material. Because it's my day off. Because I intend to keep it that way. Because watching Futurama is more entertaining than writing a blog. Because the internet connection ...
Yesterday was the World Wide Photo Walk. (if you don't know what that means you should google it) (but to cut it short) It's an annual event started by Scott Kelby and his friends a few years ago just to make whiny photographers get off their asses and ...
The only thing not working in our room is the remote control for the TV. But that's no problem for us. Every night we take turns on the chair just in front of the TV and zoom through 100+ available channels just to find the right thing to watch. Three years ...
We got to Wisconsin Dells at midnight and luckally for us we had a room waiting. The next day we realised that this time is going to be much better than 3 years ago. We can use the pool whenever we want, we have wireless internet in our room and ...
Day 14 at last. And as I promised on this day I will post some Nikon photos. There’s not much to show because I was barely getting used to the new lens and especially the polarizer, a filter totally new for me. And as a disclaimer, to open and process a ...
At the moment we work around 7-8h / day. So I have to fill the remaining time with something, thus I'm tring to figure out if a Jailhouse is the best thing for me to do as a diploma project. Ana, I have another idea. How about a Hostel? ... in ...
When we got here we had to buy stuff to make ourselves daily meals. (electric stove, pans, pots, etc) now we work in food and beverage and we mostly eat at work or "from" work so the pictures below shows our last home cooked meals. Hopefully it will stay like ...
We have been working for 3 days now and as it turns out we have less and less time to take pictures but I'll try to keep up with the b/w iphone pictures. I found the following decals very amusing. 1 in 5 minivans has something like this on the rear ...
10 days have passed, 110 left. I'll try to post picures with us every ten days mostly for the non-facebook users. Moms and dads ... mostly. :P Every 10 days I'll try to post pictures of us and every 14 days I'll try to post in color ... as in Nikon ...
Three years ago the whole area was named Wisconsin Dells, but now there are two disinct areas: the Dells (the old part of Wisconsin Dells, at north) and the Lake Delton area (the south). We are now situated in the "new" evolved Delton Area. We even have our own Famous Dave's ...
It feels like yesterday we pedaled our bikes to Walmart and back on a dirt road, crossing carefully at every crossroads. Today, three years later, the little town has grown on the sweat and tears of too many foreign students. The first sign of upgrade and progress has to be the addition of the well ...
I've been waiting for this moment for 3 years. The Famous Dave's restaurant moment! It's the restaurant with the best ribs in the world. I bet no 3* Chef can do better than this, in my books. Imagine this: a full rack of the most tender meat you have ever put in ...
As an architecture student you'll be part of allot of sunrises. You may be riding home the first subway of the day after a good party or you may be working on a project with an imminent deadline or it's that bloody model that doesn't glue together as fast as ...
As you probably know already, 3 years ago we started out work and travel program with a trip to Walmart for some bikes. At that time Jo said she knew were it was and we walked for 6.5 miles in the wrong direction just to find a Wallgreens (pharmacy). We ...
Everything starts with a little bit o paper pushing. We went to HR to get our papers signed and we were told to come back after 4 days for orientation and after that there's a training period. And this is how we got a 1 week unpaid vacation we didn't think about. ...
We woke up really early, sign that the jet-lag was still kicking and screaming. After all, the brain thought it's 14:00 and it was in fact 6 in the morning. We showed Ioana around The Loop and then we headed for the Apple store. There were more emo-apple ...
As I said yesterday, we had to ditch plan A that would have taken us from the airport in Chicago straight to Wisconsin Dells, and we embraced plan B with open arms. After the hostel check in and the foot-long sandwich (@ Subway) we went in the Millennium Park. Not many ...
