## Go West!

Hello world. We, Pim and Paul, have been on a few roadtrips ever since we've had a car available to us. These trips have brought us East (Wroclaw, Poland), North (Uppsala, Sweden) and South (Rome, Italy) but we never ventured West. This, of course, mostly derived from the fact that living in The Netherlands means 'west' is water. We kept making half-baked plans to go west but these never came to fruition.

So, in September 2009, over a very nice dinner in Almere, we were discussing 'The West' again. This is when we decided to go on a road trip from New York to Los Angeles somewhere in 2010. This is the report of our 3 week journey across the continental USA.


**NOTE**: This blog was converted from our old blogger, and most of the media was salvaged. There are a few pictures that got lost in the annals of time, notably the ones from Picasaweb. Somehow, Pim forgot to make a backup (or move the albums to another, more durable, storage system). In an attempt to take control of our own media, during our 2022 Roadtrip to the North Cape, we decided to self-host the website on our own server.
