So New York



So we were so New York. After a whirlwind 72 hour adventure which involved graduation ceremonies for myself, my sister, and even my wife (who chose not to attend hers)...we said our good byes and got on a plane to New York...and life was bliss.

Our good friends the Billings picked us up from the airport and treated us like kings (which yes, means they payed for everything - which must have been a small fortune - Manhattan is not cheap). Life was bliss as we recovered from the certain kind of insanity that involved moving across the world in a speed that only exists in chaos theory.

Anyway, we had great wine in the courtyard of Union Theological in Columbia (where my boy Drew lived)...we then woke up explored Brooklyn and side eateries. I kept on trying to eat the street food and it was quite disappointing...I expected gooey mouth fulls of deliciousness and instead I got chewy chicken gristle on a hot dog bun...

Anyway, we made the most of food and fellowship with the Billings (and the Baileys - shout out here as well) and spent a finishing day on the water at battery park drinking sangria and delicious Fosters before we bid our sad goodbyes and headed to hong kong...

We couldn't have asked for such a bliss three days - I think it prevented a nervous breakdown...I'm not joking. :)
