The Riviera

What kind of animal is this?
Las Vegas, 7 January 2007

At a Casino arcade...
The Riviera is the Big Tuna of Casinos. A bit of a shadow of its former self and off the strip. Since I came to Vegas on short notice, I had to move to Riviera from the second night, since I didn't want to spend 500 dollars on a room. The bedroom in the Riviera was actually really nice and the location for CES still excellent.
This is certainly the weirdest restaurant ad I have ever seen.

My former workplace... I had to go to PHL at the morning before being off for the airport.
When I walked back from work to the hotel on the top of the parking lot, the CCCA which was meeting at the Sheraton Universal had its annual meeting.
From 1927 to 1947... Amazing cars

San Francisco, 14 January 2007
I love to drive in the US. It is meditative. You get calm and watch the miles and the land and the time go by... I finally arrived at the Bay Bridge in Oakland...

Amazing that this photo which was made while driving, turned out so fine...
I visited Holger and Sofia for the two days in San Francisco. When I arrived Holger just received a piano he had bought for 50 bucks...

On Martin Luther King day, we all headed down to Monterey.... When we went on the Whale Watching trip, we encountered a group of around 500 dolphins... Amazing!
When we met this group, I started making the weirdest happiness sounds... Glucking around... I really encountered true happiness in that moment...
