It's already Xmas in NYC!

Me, myself and I in NYC

Great, as always!

St. Thomas

Where is this: you drive on the left side of the road and the steering wheel is on the left side too!? :)

St. Maarten

So St. Maarten is partly French and Partly Dutch and here’s how they divided it: they put the Frenchman on one side of the island and the Dutchman on the other and they were supposed to walk until they met and that would be the border. The French part is bigger because supposedly the Frenchman was walking with a bottle of wine and the Dutchman was walking with a bottle of rum, which was so strong that he had to take a nap while walking. It’s good to go on a guided tour :)

St. Juan (Puerto Rico)

Hamilton

The 50 min bus drive from the dockyard to Hamilton is breathtaking. And how nice that one local who saw me with a camera asked: "are you taking photos to show to your friends at school?" I didn't know I look THAT young! :) Learnt some marijuana facts on the bus, and then admired the Hamilton Waterfront fashion show (pic 3). I made a wish and I am looking forward to a joyful and prosperous future :)
Oh, and my absolute favorite chat with the bus driver: "Where are you from?" "Poland." "Where's that?"

Bermuda

The Devil's Island below is where the Bermuda triangle begins! But as one local told me: "the only triangle we believe in here in Bermuda is a man, his wife and another girl!". Ok! Second pic are low income houses, imagine the high income ones! Then fish and beautiful clear water and finally the ship - at home.

Across the Atlantic Ocean

I am sailing, I am sailing.
home again, 'cross the sea.
I am sailing stormy waters
To be near you, to be free

Azores

Beautiful views and although wet wet wet at this time of the year, the people are so positive, serene and happy :) Great stuff for 11/11/11

Lisboa

Beautiful sightseeing with Sofia and friends! There's nothing better than doing the sights with a local :)

Santiago de Compostela

My pilgrimage? Full of appreciation for the wonder of the journey :)

Joan of Arc

A witch or a saint? Burnt alive at the age of 19 in Rouen in 1431.
