    Final part of the holiday – Cincinnati

    April 18, 2010 /

    Phew, until at last right personal … Turns out that last day was the most full of inexperated things. Starting with the fact that in Cincinnati it was holiday on the Monday after Easter and was to celebrate the opening of the baseball season. So unlike the other days, where we saw a quiet city, everything was complicated, red and white and congested. As our return flight was only in the late afternoon, we decided to take advantage of the morning to explore a few missing places. But it was only to return to the center, where we had to go to go to the airport (which was actually in…

    Easter Sunday – Indianapolis

    April 15, 2010 /

    Following, but not finishing: Day III – Indianapolis Easter Day we were in Indianapolis. There wasn’t much chocolate for us this year, in fact, the only chocolate of the day was a mousse that we tasted at the Hard Rock Cafe there. But you know we don’t miss candy, you didn’t see it. For a change we walk muiiitcho. Well, the city was the one with the highest number of attractions of all 3 and follow some of the photos we took during the day. Upon arrival, we visited the Indianapolis Museum of Art (only for out hehe) And it’s not that we found the Easter Bunny! Love is in…

    Still on easter holidays… part II – Columbus

    April 13, 2010 /

    Hi all… I’m super late in the posts, but we follow … Day 2 – Columbus Well, after the first intense day we had, we couldn’t get out to OColumbus too soon, but we still got to see everything we had scheduled. We found the city well organized, but we immediately nicknamed it ghost town, because there were few people on the streets. I’m not sure if it’s always like this, but for all the places we looked, everything seemed kind of empty, shops, restaurants and museums seemed closed but they weren’t. Columbus is the capital of the state of Ohio and has a large university center, which we visited…

    Cincinnati | Ohio

    April 8, 2010 /

    Feriadão approaching and our willingness to enjoy free time increased. Not that we can not enjoy it at home, even that’s what we would do, only we decided (read, Diego) to poke around the “last minute deals” of airlines and ended up finding a package within budget. Cincinnati, Columbus and Indianapolis to meet in three days. As Monday was a holiday for both of us, we took the opportunity to get to know the area at once. Day 1 – Cincinnati We left our beloved cachorritchos in their little hotel on Thursday, because we left early to the airport. After a stopover in Chicago, we arrived in Cincinnati-Ohio, around 2…

    Saratoga Springs / Lake George on Thanksgiving…

    October 26, 2009 /

    Hello guys,   As I said, we took advantage of the Thanksgiving holiday to set foot on the road once again. This time, we agreed to meet the dearest Gadi and Suzi and their two dolls, Ana and Gabi, in Saratoga Spring – Lake George, New York, about 5 hours here from Ottawa. It was a kind of atypical ride, because in addition to not having run crazy as we always do on our trips and not taking a few trocentas photos, this time Dexter was with us (he behaved super well, being that his first trip). We took the opportunity to walk without much haste, enjoy friends and let…

    Hello First Happy Thanksgiving for the here and Happy Day of Our Lady Of Our Aparecida / Children's Day for those there. It's late, but it's worth it. It's just that we've been traveling (ah able?!) last weekend and we've been offline. The reports of this findi will come in a future post telling about our going to Lake George and Saratoga Springs in the state of New York, once again in the States, accompanied by a dear family friend of ours. So wait and trust…   Phew, until at last comes the end of the Chicago saga… Hehehe. Well, for those who haven't been there yet, I think you…
