A VOYAGE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD. 1939. America and out ...

.
My knowledge of American geography is pretty slim, so I hope I have these photos of what seems to have been Fritz's quick tour of American 'spots' in the days or weeks following his arrival in New York. Sadly, he seems to have photographed mainly public buildings, which may account for the limited number of snapshots of the 'tour'. Now, if it had been mountains ..

First in the pile is Chicago. Fritz is not quite anglicised yet. He has labelled the beach 'Strand'. Or maybe it was called that.





Minneapolis ...


St Paul ...




Was there any particular reason for these cities ... I don't know ... but next stop was Niagara with its inevitable photo opportunities
...



And then the American leg of the trip was over, and the train headed through the Rockies towards Vancouver ...

New Zealand was getting nearer.
