Exploring NY is about as close as you can get to travelling abroad. You dont get the full immersion that is the halmark of a good trip, but you get pretty damn close. Like a good trip you have to be willing to take risks; eating at a manhattan Peruvian is ok, but if you are willing to go to Flushing in Queens and gamble thats even better. For me travel is all about being forced outside ones comfort zone; to see/feel things from an angle that you wouldnt have naturally drifted to. Even the bad ones are that way...

Yeah... New York is great, and it's still evolving so by the time you finish up one list of "must-sees" you have to go back to the beginning. I have to agree with Chris about the comfort zone... and either Paula or Wombat about the new neural pathways. I'm very pro-travel and never happier than with the earth moving beneath my feet. Not silly enough to think I can get away from anything, but sometimes it's good to drag your problems to foreign shores (not like George Bush does).

Was that confusing? I am the one in italics.

Yes, confusing. I am with Little miss italics, I love the tedium of motion. Nothing finer than watching puffy clouds drift below you.

The Italics advanced with a penalty kick this afternoon! The Australopithicines were looking good though.

Greg: Ha.
Chris: The puffy clouds were doing astounding things this weekend. Layers and layers of them, all moving at different speeds. It was hypnotic.

I made a puffy cloud movie. I love them.

Paula comes from a long line of non-travelers. The best non-traveling quip I ever heard was from Paula's Dad who said with a worldy aire, "You can't name a place in this world that I've been to."

Ha, I'd forgtotten about that!
