I think in this moment, Lena is beginning to wonder why we brought her to the woods.
A few photos from hiking in the Appalachian Mountains in Smoky Mountains National Park, near Cherokee, North Carolina. It was a beautiful walk through green forest, along a small creek. We wanted to swim, but the water was so cold. It felt great on the aching feet towards the end of the hike though. We made Lena walk 7 miles that day, and she started getting a little cranky. But she made it in the end, all the way back to the car.

After an eighteen hour ride on the train from New York, we arrived in a little town called Toccoa, somewhere in northern Georgia. There wasn’t much there, and at 06:00 in the morning the little town was totally empty. My mom was waiting for us at the station, and snapped a couple quick photos of the exhausted travelers. We had been traveling now for three full days, and were ready for sleep. Unfortunately, we still had another two hours in the car to my mom’s house before we would be able to rest…

So here is our first post on our shiny new website!
The trip was long and stressful… We spent 72 hours traveling: First on a train, then an all-night bus, then two planes, a night in JFK airport, finished off by one long 18 hour train ride on Amtrak to arrive in an empty train station in some place called Toccoa, Georgia at 06:00 in the morning.
But, in the end we made it! No major problems, although Lena lost her beloved brown Cardigan, I ended up with a broken back from sitting for too long, and Lena thought she was going to die when the plane started bouncing up and down somewhere high above Canada…
Nothing much more to write about that, so I will just post a few photos from the long journey from Germany to the United States…
