Then on to K.U. Leuven in Belgium to start a new post for six months. You know what I think I like most about America? In a two and a half hour flight you can go from a snowy New York City to a tropical Miami Beach.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SZNUgEpPlQI/AAAAAAAAASM/xB-iAWTDD6I/s1600-h/Picture+044.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301674096324482306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SZNUgEpPlQI/AAAAAAAAASM/xB-iAWTDD6I/s400/Picture+044.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301674435366416578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SZNUzzrI8MI/AAAAAAAAASU/Eh6dpXTUN4M/s400/Picture+114.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><p>Still, I feel like I've almost 'done' America now: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Austin, New Orleans, Miami, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City, Niagara Falls. I think one last trip might be in order -- maybe I'll ride the rails up through new England, then accross to Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle and Portland.

I just finished my contract at Lancaster University and before I head to K.U. Leuven in Belgium I scheduled a few weeks holiday. I am writing this entry at Philadelphia airport after finishing up the New York leg of my trip. I had a great time, seeing the usual touristy sights, catching a live taping of the Daily Show and drinking in down-town and the east village. There were some hairy moments involving a cheese and turkey sandwich at customs, getting trapped in the subway and running through the snow to catch a ferry... but otherwise it was an awesome visit.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SYoDIz1WdFI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/2zp_v6tWoKE/s1600-h/100_0179.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SYoDIz1WdFI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/2zp_v6tWoKE/s400/100_0179.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299051361442624594" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SYoC7aNp7BI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/tCkpMTwYZm4/s1600-h/100_0175.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SYoC7aNp7BI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/tCkpMTwYZm4/s400/100_0175.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299051131226942482" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SYoCvlW2-yI/AAAAAAAAAQs/2DRPH0oliuA/s1600-h/100_0165.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SYoCvlW2-yI/AAAAAAAAAQs/2DRPH0oliuA/s400/100_0165.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299050928059906850" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SYoDY96rY1I/AAAAAAAAARE/Y9rKznlWfv0/s1600-h/100_0189.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SYoDY96rY1I/AAAAAAAAARE/Y9rKznlWfv0/s400/100_0189.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299051639027229522" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SYoDvvWuT4I/AAAAAAAAARM/s3tn0GhPA00/s1600-h/100_0211.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 277px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SYoDvvWuT4I/AAAAAAAAARM/s3tn0GhPA00/s400/100_0211.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299052030255320962" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SYoEEmq2s3I/AAAAAAAAARU/M4EBzZCZRpo/s1600-h/100_0192.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lb_s6VTMxZA/SYoEEmq2s3I/AAAAAAAAARU/M4EBzZCZRpo/s400/100_0192.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299052388701090674" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6190591252907128169-1278615092991330258?l=miamifat.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Danny Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01947792036187058470noreply@blogger.com2
