Last year I visited the US. I was lucky to be able to catch up with some of my good friends who I knew from Japan, Thailand and my college in Iowa. I attended my 50th college graduation event which was really a great chance to gather with people and learn what they are up to and what they have done to build an interesting life. Cornell really gave them a great opportunity to see the world from different perspectives. That’s the benefit of a liberal arts education.

Minnesota

Minnesota has been in the news a lot recently. I went up there to stay with my buddy Bob and to see the local sites before driving down to Iowa.

This is the exclusive, award-winning barbershop available only by reservation. Bob is a well-known contributor to the local community.

This is an old red wing shoe factory, a major long-term contributor to this town

Even in my generation there was a tradition that a boy should carry a knife around for various purposes, most of all whittling if not cutting twigs or other things to get through the countryside. so they made this boot which carried a small knife for utility purposes

a clock in the park near the train station

Handmade guitars are still a craft in this area

And of course you all know one of the great developers of this area from the European world where the Scandinavians

This is a good not for profit business which you should visit if you have a chance to be in this town

New York

every time I visit New York I stay with a friend who I’ve known for 50 years and as a well-known illustrator and artist. We go looking for art deco buildings and Attend a Broadway show. This time it was MICHAEL.

It seems to be always crowded but it’s the best place I found to get a pastrami sandwich

I did not try this spicy pickle sour beer. Maybe I should have

we had to visit here to get some good gelato

a good place to buy clothes. It’s better than sending them to Africa since they have an overflow of used clothing from the US

This art deco exterior was very dramatic

The inside had been modernized so we didn’t get a chance to see what it looked like in the past

of course you have to stop by radio city when you visit New York

This is an interesting movement community

San Francisco

the amount of tourism has reshaped my hometown tremendously. It’s nice to see many of the old things still there like the means of transportation but some things of course are disappearing.

as the local fishing industry decreases these guys have taken over the docs

You can see our old house on the hill from the city

if you’re rich you can afford this parking. It is most likely more expensive than your Car Rental.

The local diner at the union Square area is kind of nice so I went there for breakfast every morning but I always ate too much. They make great Mexican style food combinations

When the avocado and the remnants left it was very enjoyable

This was another day but it was very good. It is Lori’s diner you should visit

Is this really the kind of image you want to give for a special margarita? The nuance is……

Boulder and Longmont
