The boys have arrived. They are now in North America, in the U.S.A.; the countdown has begun. They have to get to Mexico in 90 days. On their todo list: phone card, new tents, maps, but first: a short report.

The nine hour transatlantic flight was exhausting, but we enjoyed it, and not only because of the refreshing drinks served free of charge on the plane. But we consumed with moderation, though, as Hungarian citizens we can enter the States without a visa, we wouldn’t want to make a bad impression on the immigration officer. The—somewhat scary—interview went well, we can stay until the 15th of August.
We left the airport looking around with amazement, Florida is something extremely different. We expected a different climate, but to experience it was quite a strange feeling. It’s not the temperature but the high humidity... We were feeling quite worn-out, due to the last 30 hours spent without sleep. The landscape, the city, the nature is beautiful; right now we’re laying in a coconut parkland and watching squirrels play.
We spent the first night in Miami Beach, it was Sunday night and the whole beach was partying and seemed genuinely happy. Everyone was kind and open so it was easy to engage in conversations. We explained the nature of our stay to many ears, but we don’t think that many of those conversations made it into memories. We spent the night on the beach, but a heavy shower dispelled our dreams of having a good night’s sleep. So we’re roaming the city, tired but filled with optimism. And we hope we can see you at 3PM in Pace Park or in Orlando in two weeks time.
