Quality of US highways is unbelievable bad. Look at the cracks on the left lane and the at least one inch deep lane grooves on the right lane.
We filmed that back in April on our way from Lake Tahoe back to the bay area.

Yesterday, Judith and I spent the afternoon relaxing in San Francisco. Originally, we had planned to visit the Exploratorium museum. But after spending over an hour in traffic jam on 19th street, we skipped the museum and enjoyed the view on the Golden Gate bridge and had a look at Lombard street. Finally we walked up to a small hill near Castro district from where you had a beautiful view on the city.
At night, we had dinner at Poleng Lounge on Fulton street. It’s a Asian restaurant serving awesome dishes. Their grilled Edamame taste like the street food in Shanghai. Very cool!

About 2 weeks ago, we went to Las Vegas for a weekend trip. Judith organized everything as a surprise for my birthday on that Sunday. We started Friday night from San Jose airport and arrived at the Trump hotel at around 12:30am. The hotel opened recently and is really beautiful; especially as it does not have a casino, so that you do not have to crawl through hundreds of people and get annoyed by the bling-pling-blong-tütütülüüü-kling-kling-schepper sounds of hundreds of slot machines. 
On Saturday we started at the Wynn hotel and worked our way forward through Encore, Palazzo, The Venetian, Mirage, Bellagio and probably some others as the transition between the hotels is rather smooth. We also spent (and lost 
) some $$ at some of the many casinos.
At night, we first had dinner at Sensi in the Bellagio and went to the O Show by Cirque Du Soleil afterwards.
After the show, we headed to Tao. A nightclub in Chinese style, very cool interior design, but after 1.5 hours of waiting in line, the music was not my style at all at that night. Too bad…
On Sunday, we had a spa session (sauna, steem bath, massage, tea, organic gummi bears) in our hotel which was very relaxing. The afternoon was used to have a look at some more hotels. (MGM, New York, …)
Conclusion: Very cool city, a lot of crazy stuff, but unbelievable expensive…

I have to admit, that I was too lazy to write another blog entry during my holidays. And now I am even too lazy to remember what we did in the second part…erhhh…I mean…I do not have the time.
So, if you are interested, just have a look at the pictures.
