I always have an ambivalent relationship with the cold season. Some years I hate it, the cold and especially the darkness. The gray, dreary days and endless nights. Other years, however, I don’t mind it at all.

How quickly everything can change. After starting in New York on Monday, the week came to an end for me in my bed in Basel.

While the weather in Basel is rainy and windy, I’m enjoying another sunny week in New York before my return journey.

Due to the visit of our friends from Germany, I have explored many places this week that are normally on the tourist agenda. Including places I didn’t know yet. I realized once again how diverse New York City is.
