The day that entering the Damloop took more time then the run itself...

Today at noon precisly runners could enter the Dam-tot-Dam loop 2012 (a run from amsterdam to Zaandam over 10 miles). Every years the website server is overheated and the website is non reachable. You would have thought that they figured out a solution for that by now, but NO - al I could for 1 and half hour was this pretty message. As the run closed, just a minute before I got my ticket: so count me in end of September.

våffeldagen

I dag är det våffeldagen i Sverige (och på folk som tycker om sverige som jag...) Kanske jag har tid om att laga några våfflor (men men utan grädde...)

Intouchables

Omar Sy plays a guy from the projects outside Paris who takes care of a wealthy guy who got paralyzed after a para gliding accident. It's funny and sincere, has a great Maserati and it is recorded in the Dutch Embassy in Paris. (How white can teeth be?)

Last day in Chicago - we meet Kasia & Will

Creative Bike parking

Trying to reach The Loop

It was St Patricks' Day and everyone and everything turned green -even the river...

Wil, Liam and Kasia
Time to go home after a very intense but interesting SXSW week in the US, learning lots of new things, meeting lots of new people and seeing long "lost" friends like Will and Kasia, which turned out to be living in Chicago now and saw that I was in town on FB (thanks FB!) So we had to meet up and it was like we had not missed 10 years - we continued our conversation like never before :-)
late at  night it was time to return home - a swift flight (and a good night sleep) later we arrived in sunny (and a bit cold) Amsterdam.

The day we got our iPad3


As expected there was a bit of a line in front of the Apple store here in Downtown Chicago, but we just sat and had breakfast at The Omni. After breakfast the line was gone and we had our iPad (3/HD/?) in no time and were ready to play!

Room with a view


The new Palomar Kimpton Hotel Chicago is awesome (like every Kimpton hotel really). The view is also impressive.

Biking along Lake Michigan

Skyline of Chicago

All the necessary ingredients

 
The weather is still amazing here in Mid March Chicago (high 70's) so time for a bike trip along the Lake. Although the season only starts in April, the guys from Bike & Roll were so friendly to rent us a bike anyway and off we went. It was a perfect day with blue skies, a cooling breeze and a smooth ride. I had the chance to testdrive my new Levi's commuter jeans - awesome!

WTF? - Tyler what are you doing?

OK - it turned only be a mannequin doll and a label which Tyler (of the GAP) is "checking out". He only wanted to help me because I wanted to have those pyjama trousers... (haven't found them yet)

No I did NOT buy these Adidas

We flew this morning very early to O'Hara and to our pleasant surprise the weather here is much better then in Austin :-)
It was also time to recover from our abstinence from our shopaholic addiction and go see all the stuff at the Golden Mile shops - O, yeh: and buy some stuff, and some more...
