Sarah and Dominik travelling the United States with Cocker Spaniel Eyra
From Austin we continued our way North to Waco, Texas. Waco is a small town between Austin and Dallas, nothing which would catch your eye at first, but: it's where the famous TV series Fixer Upper plays and where the National Dr. Pepper Museum stands (Sarah is a huge Dr. Pepper Fan 😜); so definitively...

After we have shown you the nightlife of Austin, we of course also want to give you a picture of Austin by daylight and show you the diversity of this wonderful city. Downtown offers a variety of small shops, restaurant and bars as well as a small fine farmers market. There you also find the... Continue Reading →
While touring through Texas, we have now arrived in Austin, the capitol city of Texas. Austin is much smaller than Houston, but has a friendly open-minded character, a nice small skyline and an extraordinary music culture. On several places within the city, such as Rainey St, South Congress St, Red River St and of course... Continue Reading →
Driving into the state of Texas completely changed the nature around us. There is "Prairie" with lots of horses and cows instead of swamps and loads of water and alligators. And this changes your plates in the restaurant as well: no fried gators and seafood anymore like in Louisiana or Florida, but Steaks, Ribs and... Continue Reading →
Finally we arrived in the state, we always wanted to see: TEXAS! And we started with the biggest city of Texas: Houston. Everyone told us not to go there and that there is nothing to see. So we were more than surprised, that this city has something to offer too, at least to some "Swissies".... Continue Reading →
On the way from New Orleans, Louisiana to Houston, Texas, through the state of Louisiana, we stopped at the wonderful and quiet Palmetto State Park near Abbeville, Louisiana. The park offers a wide range of wildlife: Amongst the black bear, tons of armadillos (see film below), lots of birds, alligators, some wild pigs, flocks of... Continue Reading →
We will finally leave New Orleans after a last fun evening. It's one of the most beautiful and diverse cities we've ever seen, with its French touch, its history and its live music. We enjoyed to stroll through the town but also to eat and eat and eat... We'll see you again NOLA. We'll now... Continue Reading →
Months ago, when we planned our route in fall in Switzerland.. we thought, we'd like to skip the cold Swiss winter and take the sunny tour through the south of the USA, with lovely warm temperatures all winter long. What could possibly go wrong?! This morning in New Orleans, after a very stormy night with... Continue Reading →
.. but also stunning nature and wildlife. As the weather holds us in New Orleans (temperatures more North or West are even worse), we checked out what to do besides visiting the city of New Orleans all day and night long. They have some beautiful city parks to stroll around (e.g. Audubon Park) with huge... Continue Reading →
NOLA is preparing itself for Mardi Gras. Many houses have beautiful decoration in the typical colors (purple, green, gold). People on the street are waring metallic beads and/or masks in the same traditional colors and decorate their entrance doors and garden with it. They even have a cake for the season, which is called King... Continue Reading →
