There were 20 people in front of the queue but it was worth the wait. Tasty!

Philly cheesesteak

Today I reached Philadelphia. Just got here 3 hours ago but the first impression is very good. I am staying at a hostel downtown. Somehow I find $35 to share a room with 15 other guys a little steep. But I had no choice as all my (20+) attempts to Couchsurf in the U.S. have failed so far. To be fair, I should mention that indeed I was offered one couch in Washington DC. But this guy said in his email that we would share the room and that he sleeps naked. Errr… I decided to turn down his generous offer…
It’s time crash couches of friends I am visiting (Evelyn & Stephan: I am on my way) or move on to Central and South America for my wallet to recover.
By the way, I am stupid. Part of my 1 year mission here is to make some contact with other science illustrators. I recently came across the website of someone who is freelancing in this area just like me. This was the reason I decided to stop by Philadelphia. Today I tried to remember the website of that guy, went through my list of bookmarks one by one but guess what: I can’t find it! I have no idea what his name was or website was called and a google search didn’t help. Oh well, my life is as chaotic as ever…

    An account in Google Bookmarks, or Delicious would have been good help with your bookmarks. My problem is just the opposite, too much organization for too little stuff.
    I’m enjoying very much your journey account. Add a little crime and a love story and you’ve got a best-seller.

    Haha, sex&crime 🙂 Now I feel obliged to deliver some stories… Not too much happening in those two categories so far though.
