USA
So finally our first destination !!
We arrived without any problems at Raleigh-Durham yesterday and were picked up by Linda and her husband Yung. They brought us to their very nice apartment in Knightdale, near Raleigh. After a lot of talking and catching up we went to bed earlier (around 9 p.m.) cause around that time we were awake for around 24 hours !!
After a relaxed breakfast we went to see downtown Raleigh. Raleigh and North Carolina have a rich history (did not know that!!) and we wandered through the history museum for a while. But also the historic buildings were great so see. A lot of the big houses are too expensive to maintain, so a lot of them are rundown and/or deserted, which is a pitty! The space everywhere is really unusual for us. What a scale! (Along the lines of: would you like to super size that?) It's also nice to see a part of the US that's not a touristy place or a big city. Raleigh is really quiet.
And also not bad at all: It's beautiful wheather here! Around 10 C but blue skies and sun, so great for exploring! The morning before we landed it was snowing and freezing, so we are lucky.
Tomorrow we are going to Washington DC for the weekend! And the weather will be even better :)
It's really great to start off this relaxed and with everything taken care of.
Thank you Linda and Yung!
Bye for now, J & S
