                for family and friends who are interested in me and my new live
                in the USA. See also the page with maps. October 26th, 2003, I moved to the US. Below you will find a list of things I did, encounters I had, pictures, people, etc.  It will not be super detailed, but it will give you an idea ... By the way: More pictures I made can be found at DevianArt.

          Family Visit! My mom and my aunt had this really nice plan to suprise
        me for my birthday (october 22nd). My mom, my sister Patricia, and my
        brother-in-law Dave gave me a suprise visit. This was definitly a suprise,
        and a very nice one too. It seems they enjoyed themselves here.  Before they visited me though, Fall kicked in. Man
        those colors here are awesome. Not to forget; Joe (co-worker) grows mega
        pumpkins;  Joe's MEGA pumpkin - can you image yourself in the grocery
          store with one of these?
 
 
  Fall shows some awesome colors here!
  And the weather is still very nice .... (>20 degrees Celcius)
 
 
  Just great colors ... for about 2 weeks
   Mom, Patricia, and Dave  ...
  The
          Mall of America - the biggest shopping mall ... with Snoopy
  Yep, we don't see these in Holland - The yellow schoolbus
  Another custom in the US - Garage sales
 
 
  Americans can be very "fanatic" in lots of things - even in
          the useless ones like voting
 
 
 
  Getting served at your car ... jummie :P
 
 
 
  Dave's favorite: Farms - they look way different than the Dutch
          ones!
 
 
 
  Another favorite of Dave: American trucks ...
 
 
 
  Allthough this classic firetruck looks pretty cool too ...
 
 
 
  And another typical thing: the sigar indian - pretty big dude!
 
 
 
  Patricia and Dave in my aunt's backyard ...
   Cool view,... thanks guys for the cool
                                  visit! I really enjoyed it!
   Stillwater - a "typical" view of a mainstreet in a town
   Patricia and Dave liked my Jeep too
                                  :)
   Something they missed - The wild turkeys
                                  running around in my front yard  ...
   Some humor: This tennisball is having
                                  fun - and Puck can't reach ...
   ... The first snow ... and cold too
                                  ... today is -25 degrees Celcius ... brrr!
 Downhill
                                  skying, crosscountry skying:
                                  10 minutes from my home - TrollHaugen,
 About 20 minutes from my home - Wild
Mountain
   But it's also the weather for doing
                                  some snowmobiling - so I bought this one!
 I haven't had a chance to use it yet (obviously
                                  otherwise I would be writing this in the hospital)
