The party together with church server was great and we have had a good time together last week! This weekend I spent a lot of time to publish the picture galleries of my trip to USA. After I showed the pix to my relatives this afternoon, you are also able to find them online. Just follow the run of our travel:

>> Los Angeles
>> Grand Canyon and Canyonlands (including Monument Valley)
>> Arches national park and Bryce Canyon
>> Las Vegas
>> Death Valley and Yosemite Nationalpark (Sequoia trees)
>> San Francisco
>> SF-special: Alcatraz and St. Mary cathedral

Now, I have to pack my luggage again, because next week we will visit Rome together with church servers, but only for four days...

first picture-gallery of my trip to USA is online already:
Get some impressions of Los Angeles: www.alexbo.de

The complete report and the other pictures I am going to put in internet next weekend...

Last week I went to Berlin, because of a seminar I participated. It was quite interesting and I met a lot of nice persons.

On the weekend we have had a concert with our orchestra (Starkenburg Phillharmoniker). We played Mozart program and the audience was enthusiastic!

Tomorrow I will visit the church servers, they are in vacation together. Every year it is about one week, but I can just stay 3 days.

After an interesting travel around the western part of USA I arrived in San Francisco already. The last week we drove about 5,000 kilometres by car and visited a lot of natural parks. From Los Angeles we drove to the impressive Grand Canyon and overnighted in the forest at a camping ground. From Grand Canyon we reached the Arches, passing Monument Valley and Canyonlands. One day later we reached the most beautiful park in my mind: Bryce Canyon! There we hiked through the Canyon and next day we enjoyed the sunrise

After the nice impressions in nature we visited the most amazing city Las Vegas! It is unbelievable what you can see there and actually there were such a lot of things new since my first stay in 1998. The highlight was the visit of Stratosphere tower, where is a roller coaster on the top in 250meter over sea.

On the way to San Francisco we drove through Death Valley (and survived) and passed the mammut trees in Yosemite park. In San Francisco we visited the Golden Gate, Downtown, museums and Fishers Warf already. Tomorrow we will go to Alcatraz and I hope they let us go back, so we can fly home on Thursday...

All the pictures and the detailed report I will put in internet in middle of October, so look forward to it!
