The Airport Crew in Atlanta

Cockroaches

Those cockroaches are as huge as Egyptian ones and I sometimes see them wandering around in my room. Don´t like to get up in the morning and the first thing I see is a (hopefully) dead bug.

Roadtrip I - New Orleans

The start into a great weekend...

A stopover in Birmingham at Corina´s.

The Lufthansa girls from Philadelphia

Our hotel. Big room, large patio, perfect view....

The trip on the Mississippi

Jump, jump, jump around....

This place was soo cool. Jazz at its best. The only thing we did not like have been the cockroaches. But on the other side, after they crossed the room a couple of times, it was much emptier..

Monkeys

Some nice houses

Bob: Somehow we met him and somehow we joined him. I played the drums and Sven the ... Result: After one hour Bob gave up and left. We made only $1. We might have been the reason for the bad result, the hour before, he played without us and made much more

Misc Pics

Sports at the Gulfcoast. Perfect day, perfect sand. Played Rugby, Baseball, Golf and Golfby.

Westin

Went out to the Westin, the highest hotel building in the Western world, with a rotating top. Amazing, and we saw the ATL from above.

Parking: I have no idea who will be awarded as the parker of the month. Anyway, the parking slots are much bigger than back home. We parked with our car in a slot usable "only for small cars". The ones for "normal cars" are double the size as in Europe.

Chattahoochee

Sind ein paar Meilen noerdlich gefahren und haben uns im Urwald wiedergefunden. Die Hurricanes haben da einiges durcheinandergemacht.

Der Chatoahochee River, grausame Farbe, aber anscheinend gibts da einige verrueckte Leute, aber es sind nicht wir.

Urwaldmenschen: Tarzan und Jane

Sumoringen am Beach

Stone Mountain Park

Went to Stone Mountain Park, an amazing place somewhere west. The countryside is a amazing and the sunset was stunning. After that we went to largest lasershow in the world. But it was so cheesy and redneck. As soon as there was a flag or a soldier everyone cheered....

Und los geht´s...

...den Berg hinauf...

...der verdiente Spass auf dem Berg...

Die drei Affen

Sunset mit Blick auf Atlanta. Amazing...

Braves

Car

Tried to buy the left one first but ended up with the right one....

Coca- Cola

The American way: Went to the World of Coca Cola and to the cinema in the evening. (Fahrenheit 9/11)
Input on that Saturday: ca 1 gallon Coke and around 30 other soft drinks per person (free tasting at the World of Coca Cola and free refill in the Cinema), 1 huge bag of popcorn (unlimited refill), 1 Cheeseburger Menu...

Result: I was still sick on the next day.

Parties

Party at Ahram´s




Poolparty at Thomas´




Sit in at Piedmont Park

Atlanta

This is Atlanta.

Maroon 5

Corina, Amy, Sven and I went to a John Mayer and a Maroon 5 concert. It was georgeous. Maroon 5 are great and John Mayer wasn´t too bad.

Ivan the terrible

Hier herrscht totales Chaos und der Ausnahmezustand wurde ausgerufen. Hier kommt anscheinend der halbe Himmel runter und ganze Stadtteile sind unter Wasser und ohne Strom. Dabei hat uns der Hurricane noch gar nicht erreicht. Auf dem Rueckweg von der Arbeit heute sind wir durch reinste Fluten gefahren. Das Wasser kam von allen Seiten und nach etlichen Pfuetzen haben wir ne komplette Unterbodenwaesche bekommen. Als wir dann endlich in der Tiefgarage angekommen sind waren wir heilfroh. Bis Montag is in Georgia der Ausnahmezustand erklaert und das obwohl ausser (viel) Regen und ein paar Tornados nicht viel los ist. An der Golfkueste dagegen ist Land unter, allerdings nicht so schlimm wie befuerchtet. Letzte Woche sind wir noch mit unserem Mobil gemuetlich entlang der Kueste gefahren und haben uns bei bestem Wetter amuesiert.

Frances

Frances is coming and it is getting weird. Frances
The baby is big and might come to us as well(Frances - projection )
At least we will get lots of rain. 10 day weather forecast for ATL
Anyway we are off to New Orleans and hope that the Frances is gonna stay more along the Atlantic coast...
