De här bilderna är faktiskt från vår första dag, då vi gick och log mot varandra hela tiden, fotade amerikanska flaggor överallt och märkte att röken ur gatubrunnarna inte bara existerade på film. Det var en jäkligt häftig dag!

It’s like in the movies, but better. And bigger! My feet hurts after walking up and down the streets and avenues. I shouldn’t complain, life’s sweet with swollen feets too. The sun has been shining all day and we could even walk around with our coats off. Can’t believe it’s Christmas Eve in two days.. The big Christmas tree at Rockafeller helped a bit though!

A minute and a half of our first day in this crazy city. We have been amazed over “normal” stuff all day.. We have just been walking around smiling looking at each other all the time. It´s incredible, everything is so much more than one could ever expect. Things are not only one size bigger than home but 3 sizes bigger. Trucks, cars, buildings, doors, hamburgers, drinks, clothes, streets everything is XXXL. Here we think we have found Times Square but we don´t know really, haha!

Stress! Is the word I would use to describe yesterday morning. Petter were leaving from his house and I was leaving from mine, to get on the same train that would take us the airport. That didn’t happen. It ended up with Petter’s family driving us to Malmo instead (close to Copenhagen airport where our plane was departing from). I had dewy-eyed farewell from my sister and dad (and mum on the phone from Norway). Jumped in the car with Petter’s family and from there everything actually went as planned and the word I would use to describe the rest of the trip is; awesome!

Met up with our sweet friend Wenche at the airport, saw an awesome sunset in Copenhegen (europe’s way of saying goodbye i think), saw Big Ben and London Eye when we circled over London waiting for permission to land, missed our connecting flight in London but got upgraded to Premium Class (Halleluja!), went in to USA without any fuss, took a yellow cab to Manhattan and slept our first night in our awesome apartment.

More photos to come! Now we have to run out on town to buy a converter to our charger!
