Feels So Long Ago . . .

 our big idea this time around was to bike.  and bike we did.  here eleftheria and i are mapping out our approach.

 ok so we didn't bike everywhere. 

 an attempted escape is thwarted by cold mistress evolution

 high five, "we didn't die in new york city traffic!"

 a neon burger joint.  really good.  simos was on a mission to eat as many different burgers as possible.  we did pretty well.

 "sir, our big glass sky scraper kinda sticks out"
"hmmm . . . well, put a few trees in a upside-down pyramid shape on some balconies on the 2nd through 5th floors.  in a few years i'll bet we'll blend right in."

 i love the direct attitude, and trust us the line was long.

 so after new york city, we added a passenger, artemis (not pictured), and left for ohio with a stop over to see keith at camp.

 keith at camp, and another burger.

the crew, (left to right) giorgia, simos, keith, me, eleftheria, artemis

 giorgia quickly found her dog, and is dreaming of returning to new york to volunteer at the ranch.

they were great company in the car.  as the sole driver, i relied on simos for support; the only trustworthy co-pilot.

boy does it seem like that trip was a while back.  after the wedding, eleftheria, simo, giorgia and i went to the states for a nice visit.  i have already posted pictures from our stay in ohio; however, we started out in new york.  these pictures are from that piece of the adventure.
