Gettysburg-battlefield

Gettysburg is one of the biggest battlefields in the US and a place that raises lots of emotions. At this place the armies of North-Union and South-Confederation met which led to bloody battle where many people were killed or injured. This battle took place July 1-July 3 1863 and Union won. This battle is considered like a breaking point of Civil War where South slavery states were defeated... Gettysburg lies in Pennsylvania close to border with Maryland, hour and half far away from Washington, DC. It's neat and small east coast town. However, you can see the bloody history of this place all around. There is a big cemetery in the town with buried bodies (or just ash of bodies, because there were so many corpses that they didn't have time and room to bury all of them). And in the countryside around the town, on the places where the soldiers died there are many (at least tens, maybe hundreds) monuments and memorials for these people.

Pittsburgh

Everybody was keep saying that Pittsburgh is a industrial city where is nothing to see. Just factories. However, it couldn't be me to believe that and not to go somewhere nobody hasn't been to and just blame it. So I collect some people, we rented a car (for the third time we got a minivan for the price of regular car - they didn't have those normal cars, which was awesome) and hit the 6 hours lasting road to the second largest city of Pennsylvania. And I have to admit that it was a very good choice - neat city lying on the junction of three rivers with nice skyline and many briges and sport stadiums all around the city... I can just recommend this city to everybody!

Atlantic City

Some gambling and beach - that's Atlantic City, Las Vegas of the East coast. Well, I'm not sure about that - it seems to me that it's dirty parody to Vegas. There are couple big casinos, that are very neat and luxurious (and of course very expensive) but next to it there are ugly shops with weird stuff sold and weir people (and lot of homelesses) all around. For me the beach was the best thing in this city. Beautiful beaches with white sand and huge waves on the ocean. After some sightseeing and little gambling (yes, I again lost some money...) we just laid on the beach for a while and in the afternoon we went to Atlantic's city outlet store. Nice relaxing day - not so much for me - when I had to drive 5 hours there during the night. But as always the best was that we got out off camp for a while again...

Boston and Cape Cod

After thursday trip to Niagara Falls we hit the road again in Friday night and in the Saturday morning we got to Cape Cod, beautiful peninsula with sand beaches near to Boston. We (me and 5 other Czechs working in the camp) spent there almost whole morning and before lunch time we moved to close Boston, where we stayed till Sunday, when we got back to the camp around midnight. Ufff, demanding weekend ;)

Florida - Spring break 2007

Na Floridu jsme jeli s dvouma Ceskama - Evou a Luckou a Nemkou Tabeou, coz byl nekdy mazec prezit s treba babama, ale nakonec sem to prezil a dokonce i celkem uzil ;) Jeli jsme na 9 dni a projeli skoro celou Floridu. Tady je nase trasa - prileteli jsme do Ft.Lauderdale, tam jsme pujcovali auto a pak uz se premistovali do Miami, Miami Beach, Key West, Everglades National Park, Ft.Meyers, Naples, St.Petersburg, Tampa, Orlando, Kenedy Space Center a pak zpatky do Ft.Lauderdale vratit auto a nasednout na letadlo a mazat zpatky do Nebrasky... Byla to celkem jizda, tolik veci na tak malo casu - ale byl to mazec. I kdyz Florida neni muj vysnenej stat a v Americe mam rozhodne oblibenejsi mista, urcite doporucuju navstivit ;)

Podzimni campus

Tak tohle je nas milovany campus a okoli. Je to tu hrozne pohodlny, vsechno je na jednom miste - fakulty, koleje, cafeterie, obchod, posta, banka, knihovna, dokonce i jeden mega fotbalovej (rozumnej americkyho fotbalu) stadion... V podstate odsud ani nemusite vychazet a nic vam nechybi. No vlastne, ne, chybi tu bary, protoze v kampusu se nesmi pit ani prechovavat alkohol. Takze vetsina baru v Lincolnu je soustredena na O Street, zname to parici ulici. Jinak tyhle fotky campusu jsou porizeny za krasnyho slunecnyho podzimniho dne. Stromy uz zacali zloutnout, takze to byl vpravde uchvatny pohled :)

Sobotni trh v Lincolnu

Trhy se tu konaji v casti Hay Market kazdou sobotu. Je to hned v centru (downtownu) a prodavaji tu kolaci - coz jsou v podstate nase kolace s nejruznejsima naplnema. Delaji je tu potomci Cechu a jsou tu celkem dost popularni. Pro nas je to dobry pripomenuti domova... Jinak v sobotu jezdi na kole do kavarny Mill pobliz Hay Marketu taky adviser naseho stipendia Larry, tak se s nim nekdy potkame. Je to ale hodne tezky, vstat v sobotu rano:-) Jo, jeste k tem vlakum... Trhy se konaji hned u vlakovyho nadrazi, kde ale snad jezdi jeden osobni vlak za tyden.

Vylet do kukurice a vecere u Joe, amika s ceskyma predkama

I kdyz sem si myslel (a mnozi z vas me v te myslence utvrzovali :-)) ze Nebraska a Lincoln je jen kukurice a uprostred toho mozna nejaka univerzita, realita je trochu jina. Kukurice je tu opravdu hodne, ale my jsme ji asi prvni mesic pobytu vubec nevideli. Tak sme se rozhodli ze si udelame vylet do kukurice, at pozname tu pravou Nebrasku... Svezl nas tam Joe Vosoba, chlapek ktery ma cesky predky, byl parkrat v Cesku a chvili tam dokonce ucil anglictinu. Umi taky neco cesky. Po navsteve jiz usychajici kukurice jsme zasli k Joevi a jeho manzelce Kathy domu. Prichystali pro nas veceri, vinko, cesky pivko, proste pohodicka...

Fotbalovy zapas

Tak tenhle mazec se jmenuje americkej fotbal. A probiha to asi tak ze se nejakejch 85 tisic Nebrascanu zvedne, oblece se do cervene, coz je barva mistniho klubu a vlastne i cele Nebrasky a jde se podivat asi na ctyrhodinovou hru na obri stadion. Na to ze Lincoln ma nejajch 230 tisic obyvatel je to celkem slusny. Rika se ze v dobe hry se stadion stava po Omaze a Lincolnu tretim nejvetsim mestem v Nebrasce :-D

Let z Prahy pres Frankfurt a Chicago do Lincolnu

Tak takhle jsme vsichni leteli do Lincolnu, kde momentalne studujeme. Vyleteli jsme z Prahy brzo rano a na ceste jsme byli skoro 30 hodin. V Chicagu uz jsme mysleli ze jsme zkoncili, protoze nam neustale posouvali cas odletu. Ale nakonec sme po asi osmihodinovym cekani na Chicagskem letisti prece jen vzletli do nocni oblohy vstric nasemu kukuricnemu dobrodruzstvi...
