128 mph in 3.5 seconds - Hell yeah!

Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer!

Yes, I had exactly this feeling when I shot up 456 feet high in the air - with 128 mph in 3.5 seconds! 

As you can see, my friends and I had a marvelous time at the theme park Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey this weekend. We experienced weightlessness on the highest roller coaster in the world, "Kingda Ka", thanks to a pulse-quickening vertical drop, were rocketing through dive loops and twisted double corkscrews, and rushed down the steepest drop of any wooden roller coaster on "El Toro". You can barely imagine how exhausted we were after a day of nine remarkable thrill rides!

This is what 128 mph in 3.5 seconds do to your face!

Model Crush - Barbara Palvin

To start the week, here are some of my favorite shots of the absolutely exquisite looking Hungarian model Barbara Palvin... I can't even tell how much I love her cool style, beautiful face and her fantastic body!

I unfortunately can't remember all the sources, but most of the pics are taken from fashiongonerogue.com or tumblr-blogs

Washington, D.C. Part IV - Hello Mr. President!

From New York to Washington, D.C. - this will be the last post of my marvelous trip to this beautiful city.
What I found really impressing were the 4,048 golden stars that the Freedom Wall in the World War II Memorial holds. Each star represents one hundred Americans who died during World War II. There were so many stars on this wall, I could barely imagine the amount of people who died in that war if each single star stands for one hundred persons - this is the true price of freedom.
After walking around for two days already, we decided to rent bikes, and I can tell... it was hilarious! We had such an awesome time biking through the city - in fact no one in New York City rides a bike so I haven't done it in more than a year!
Somehow we finally made it to the White House. I've seen it countless times on TV but I honestly have to admit, I didn't expect it to be that small! Standing in front of the surrounding fence, I was like: 'It's beautiful but seriously, this is it?' Even the Lincoln Memorial impressed me more - sorry Mr. Obama, it's not your fault ;-)
Our last stop was Georgetown, to me the most beautiful and cozy part of the city thanks to its closeness to the river and all the little shops and colorful houses you could find there.
Washington, D.C., thanks for letting me escape the busy, noisy and sometimes really grey New York City life! I didn't relax that much in a long time!

Washington, D.C. Part III - Lincoln and the Washington Monument

This is my third Washington D.C. post and I love all the pictures because they remind me of the awesome time we had in the U.S. capital. Today you get to see the world renowned Washington Monument and - not to miss - Abraham Lincoln of course. Enjoy!

 

Hey there, Mr. Lincoln!
