Two in one! San Diego and BC!: maj 2012

That's all for now! I'll be back soon!

I would like to give a special thanks to Björne who has let me add pictures that he has taken to this blog!

See you this summer when I'm going to visit BC and explore parts of California for the first time!

Gin & Tonic on the flight home!

Sasquatch seen in Central Park

I finally was one of the lucky ones seeing a Sasquatch in Central Park (remember the first picture from day 1 in NY?)! And I got to see him quite many times!

B. Sti ll er

One final actor spotting (apart from that Mats Sundin was flying home with us)! Walking back to the hotel we ended up in the middle of the filming of a scene I guess for a movie with B Sti ll er (the film crew didn't want pictures on the Internet that's why I'm writing the actors name like that if thew are searching for pictures on the Internet). It was pretty crazy. A whole block was more or less closed off.

We didn't get what was going on right away but then recognized the actor. He was being pulled on a skateboard across an intersection.

The coolest thing was though seeing everything backing up (cars, extras and so on) after Sti ll er had crossed the intersection on the skateboard. I which I would have filmed it. But oh well!

Björne got a really great picture of Sti ll er where it looks like he is looking straight into the camera!

Björnes great picture

Preparations

Filming

Backing up cars and extras

Breakfast where it all began a week ago!

We returned to one of our favourite spots in Central Park for our last breakfast in NY. It was even more beautiful today than last week! What a place!

Breakfast from our favourite breakfast place Pax

Björne with the breakfast :)

Summer time is here!

Having breakfast here every day wouldn't be so bad

I started with a jump and I better end with a jump!

Finally a run in a pretty empty Central Park!

We managed to reach Central Park by 6:45 AM. It was then surprisingly empty! We got some really nice spots all to ourselves on this last day in NY! And what a weather we got this Saturday!

Björne on the run

Just beautiful :)

Trying to jump higher

5th try or so...turned out pretty good

No words needed

We actually ran a little too :)

Last bridge picture

Last time we were here at the fountain it was crowded with people. Today I could actually get a jump picture without lots of other people in it.

Change of plans

I woke up in the middle of the night and was feeling wide awake. My first thought was that it was morning but then I looked outside and saw that it was still dark. Looking at the time I realized that it was still 2 hours until sunrise!

By then Björne had woken up as well and we decided to go to Brooklyn Bridge and both get the night skyline as well as the sunrise over Manhattan! The metro in NYC runs 24 hours so we made it down to City Hall/Brooklyn Bridge a little after 4 AM. Heading up Brooklyn Bridge we again were annoyed that the bridge is being renovated. But we made a good decision not choosing Manhattan Bridge instead to get a nice view of Brooklyn Bridge since Brooklyn Bridge wasn't lit up as it usually is.

We walked over the whole bridge and walked down to Brooklyn Bridge Park for an uninterrupted view of Manhattan. I was walking a little ahead of Björne and when I reached the park I thought a speaker talked to me saying something about the park being closed. I didn't really give it much more thought and walked down to the water taking pictures. When Björne arrived I asked him if he had heard anything but he said he hadn't. Walking back towards Brooklyn again I heard the speaker again and saw that a camera was flashing at me. When I listened to the whole message I realized that I actually had been trespassing :) But I guess they have no way of identifying med which is good!
