Update from our 2018 USA Road Trip


It has almost been a month since I arrived in the Pacific Northwest and time has flown by. The first two weeks my friend Selma and I have been traveling tirelessly south on the Pacific Coast Highway all the way to Cresent City in California. Then the journey took us inland toward Ashland, then Portland and lastly Seattle. Selma left for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and I remained here with family. But the traveling didn't stop. I visited Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and the Richland and Tri-Cities area. Next Monday I will return to Seattle and towards the end of the week I will be back home. I do miss home. This is the longest I have been away, but the experiences and stories will make up for that. Meanwhile here are some images from the journey so far, while the massive travel series will follow soon, once I'm back home.

Up: The Seattle skyline as seen from the Space Needle; Below: Me at Twede's Cafe, the iconic Twin Peaks diner.


Up: The city of Richland at night, as seen from the Badger Mountain trail head; Below: The charming (and cliche ridden) German town Leavensworth


Up: The Harrison Slough in Coeur d'Alene in Idaho; Below: the seemingly unending plains of south-east Washington state, entering Richland.


Up: A charming gazeboo in Snoqualmie, WA with cherry blossoms on the trees; Below: Seattle at night


I hope to share more with you soon!
 Have a great weekend.

  22. One of those top five finishes also came the last time the U.S. Open was held at Pebble Beach in 2010, when Els finished in solo third. Entering the final round he trailed Dustin Johnson by six shots, and when Johnson began to falter on Sunday Els was suddenly back in the mix. Through 13 holes on Sunday he was at even par for the week, which would have been good enough to get into a playoff with eventual winner Graeme McDowell, but bogeys at the 14th and 17th holes ended his chances at a third U.S. Open triumphwatch us open live
