After a relaxing weekend, we headed into the next week full of energy. Franzi traveled to Madison again, Alex headed to Washington by train. Travelling by train is a fairly comfortable method of travel but pretty expensive, even compared to the Deutsche Bahn. Starting comparisons with Deutsche Bahn – the train left and arrived punctual […]
Franzi’s birthday and Neumanns in town!
Birthday week for Franzi! She spent the week in Madison. Alex could stay in the city. First stop before going to the office: Everyman café for a nice Croissant and a Cappuccino. On Tuesday, Franzi was surprised with an early birthday cake by her colleagues, which was super thoughtful and tasty! Franzi got back to […]
Franzi in the middle of USA’s crime spot #1
During the next week, Franzi was in St. Louis. A couple of morning runs allowed to see the city and the famous Gateway Arch in the sunrise light. It is the world’s tallest arch (630-foot, 192 m) , the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere, and Missouri’s tallest accessible building. It symbolizes literally the Gateway […]
Independence Day
This week was a week without travel for a change, which we both really appreciated! In addition, it was a short week because 4th of July was around the corner. We worked from the NYC office from Monday to Wednesday and started the long weekend on Wednesday night with a hangout in Tompkins Square Park, […]
NYC Pride Weekend
Another week, another flight – Franzi went back to California Monday evening. Meanwhile, Alex stayed in NY. We started the Monday morning with our new tradition to stop by at Everyman Espresso to get a Croissant and a Cappuccino. Since we got to know the dog of one of the baristas – Lady – we […]
Alex 31st Birthday
The next week Franzi was in New York and Alex was in Detroit. It seems our travel schedules are perfectly synced so that we never spend a week at home together 😉 During the week, besides working Franzi ensured to organize everything for Alex’s birthday coming up on Saturday. Since we were away from home, […]
Office Summer Party and K-Town
The second week of June, Franzi went to Madison and Alex stayed in New York. The week started off very foggy, but from Tuesday on the weather was fantastic. During the week, a colleague and good friend of Alex – Marco – was in town so it was a fortunate coincidence that Alex was not […]
Visitors from home and premier league sport
The next week started off with a successful Steering Committee on Franzi’s project (a presentation of interim project results) and a fun team dinner at a Steakhouse in Wisconsin. Alex got to spend the week in New York. He did not complain as this allowed him to attend two-wheel-Tuesday on Tuesday night. Also he could […]
Not quite as envisioned but still a great (long) Memorial Day weekend
The weekend of May 25th was a long one – it’s Memorial Day on the 27th so we got an extra day off, yei! It is not too difficult to guess what our plan for the long weekend was – get on the bikes and ride somewhere upstate New York to enjoy some nature. In […]
A normal work week garnished with picking up our motorcycles
Work week #3: Another week in Detroit for Alex, a week in Madison, Wisconsin for Franzi, which is also known as “America’s Dairyland”. Wisconsin can show off with a lot of nature and a cozy capital. Franzi had some time to enjoy the nature and city of Madison after work. There are two lakes surrounding […]
