Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas!!! We decided quite spontaneously for a trip to Las Vegas. After being sick for almost 5 weeks and spending a lot of time at home, we needed a little change of scenery. And after seeing photos of a friend who had spent a few days there, I was hooked....
I finally made it
I almost forgot to mention how the DMV story continued. On November 30, the time had finally come. I signed up for the behind-the-wheel test to finally get the practical part of my driving test behind me. The difference to Germany is that you have to show up with a...
Universal Studios
Since we've been in Los Angeles, I've been dying to visit Universal Studios. Like everything here, the tickets are pretty expensive, so I waited until our friend Christin came to visit us. Last week, the time finally came and we visited Universal Studios in Hollywood...
Sequoia National Park
I am happy to announce that we finally made a trip to the Sequoia National Park. It wasn't easy to plan, especially for Stefan who wanted to take a few days off, but we finally made it. But we have to admit that our great neighbors put a lot of planning (and driving)...
Malibu
We finally found our way to Malibu! We wanted to go to Malibu a few months ago, but since we didn't have a car, we decided to put it off until later. The car situation is the same today, but Stefan was able to take a few days off, so we decided to take an Uber.A ride...
Hermosa Beach
I think I discovered a new favorite place in LA. I guess it's more popular with locals, but after 4 month we are definitely no tourist anymore. The place I am talking about is the Hermosa Beach area. We went there for the second time yesterday, and the vibe there is...
Social-Security-Office
I think it's time to talk about the administration-stuff, particularly the Social-Security-Office and DMV, and our experience of being a foreigner for the first time in my life. OK, maybe not the first time if you include several vacations and the fact that my father...
Concerts
If you really like to go out, especially in the evening, I don't think there is a better place than LA. You have so many options every day that sometimes you can't decide what you'd rather do. In the summer, there are many free concerts in many cities within Los...
It’s Stefans turn
Stefan has wanted to take a trip to Will Rogers Historic State Park for a couple of weeks. I get excited every time he makes a wish and suggests a trip. Most of the time in our relationship, I'm the one who plans our trips or vacations. Then when Stefan takes over, I...
July 4th
We were so excited for our very first 4th of July in the USA!!!! We were looking forward to parades and street parties, and expecting about 95% of all citizens to be dressed in the colors of the American flag. Perhaps we had somewhat exaggerated expectations. Maybe....
