Sarah and Dominik travelling the United States with Cocker Spaniel Eyra
New Orleans is at least as lively by night as in daylight. We had the chance to be in NOLA while the opening night of Mardi Gras Carnival. The Krewe's weren't as stunning as they will be on Fat Tuesday on Feb 13, when the Mardi Gras Season ends, but they had a nice one... Continue Reading →
From Mobile, Alabama, we drove through the state of Mississippi to New Orleans, in the state of Louisiana. The city of Jazz music, funny people all over the place, drunken tourists in the French Quarter, ancient plantation houses in the garden district, skyscrapers in the business district, old streetcars running through the main Canal Street...

Mobile is a small town in Alabama. They have invented Mardi Gras, the carnival, which is famous in New Orleans now. They are utterly proud of this. The city is interesting and has some good restaurants and music clubs and beautiful southern style private houses. They have a huge battleship memorial park and a big... Continue Reading →
Finally we left the state of Florida and entered the state of Alabama. We drove past a final Florida State Park (Big Lagoon State Park) and passed the border to Alabama at Orange Beach, which reminded us of Miami Beach, just smaller. Via Gulf Shores and Foley we drove to Magnolia Springs, a small village... Continue Reading →
After the wildlife sightings of alligators, we got a lot of texts, that at least we haven't seen a shark... wrong: There he is... a young hammerhead shark. Some fisherman fished it from the Pensacola Beach Pier. They of course released him in to the waters again. The water is extremely clear. You see everything... Continue Reading →
First, we wish all of you a very prosperous New Year and thank you for having followed us in 2017 so far. We celebrated New Year in Pensacola, which is a small city in the most western corner of Florida. It's a lively little town full of small shops, restaurants and bars. Dominik (and Eyra)...

We drove again more than 4 hours to get to our New Year's Eve destination. Unfortunately the weather got worse and worse. We started our journey again with some sunshine, but very cold temperatures already and ended it with pure rain and even colder temperatures. We enjoyed a lovely lunch break in a very funny...

Apalachicola is a very funky little city at the western corner of Florida (next to the border to Alabama). The small city is very lively, extremely dog friendly (you can take dogs into restaurants, bars etc... they even have a dog carnival parade :-)) and it has lots of funky bars and music clubs. And...

We saw this at the morning stroll with Eyra on the beach infront of our campground today. Just so sweet... By the way, this was a sunrise (no sunset)! Wishing you all a good day and a further joyful holiday season.
We have spent a day visiting two Florida State Parks: Wakulla Springs and Ochlockonee River. Wakulla Springs (a tip of very good friends from us: Thank P & M) is like a forest out of some dreamland. And there.. we saw them: Alligators.. everywhere.. They told us, that gators swim with a speed of 35... Continue Reading →
