We accidentally spend the night in Bretton Woods under the Mount Washington - the place where in 1944 some guys sat together to draw a blueprint of the global economic system as it exists until today.

A few hours before we had stopped in Kennebunkport the summer home of the Bush family. The East Coast is so full of history you, can’t avoid it.

From tomorrow on I’ll be on the road with my girlfriend Doreen and our friends Nora and Marc from Berlin. We finally mapped out a route last night. I’ll try to put my iPhone to work and send some pictures and short updates from the road.

We’re planning on a 5,500km drive all the way up to Montreal via Boston and the Maine coastline, then to Chicago with stops by the Niagara Falls and Amish County. Next will probably be a short stay in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park only to proceed to Virginia Beach for a birthday party in the sun. Last stops then two days in Washington D.C. and one in Philadelphia and a short trip to Atlantic City before we head back to Brooklyn.

We’re getting excited!
