New York, I love you. Today.

Last day in New York, New York:

0500 up and at'em to have a little tea and stretch before I run up to Prospect Park to say goodbye to Felix and the cycling crew.

0545 on Felix's Pinarello, a bike which cost twice as much as any car I've ever owned, doing a lap with the group, because Felix insisted : )

0630 walk home.  It's a beautiful day.

0730 camera out, walking back up to Park Slope by all my favorites, The Gate, S'nice, etc.

0830 Gorilla Coffee- where else to take in the sounds of Brooklyn coming to life one last time...?



0930  on the two

1000 union square.  nice walk over to caravan of dreams on 6th and avenue a

1030 $15 tui na massage on 8th street and avenue a.  amazing.

1100 brunch at caravan of dreams with christine.  tofu scramble with fresh curry; coconut berry chia smoothie.

1400 walking back to the F.  delicious pear from a street vendor, eaten while people watching on 14th street

1530 home. tea.  change, head up to 7th avenue to pick up some OLD pictures I'd almost forgot I'd taken to be developed- they are entertaining and wonderful.  then to Jackrabbit to pick up new Asics Nimbus.  

1630  Prospect Park to help with 5K benefit for wonderful, amazing Greg.  1000+ people show up to support him in his fight against cancer.  feel the love.

2030 Out with Tracey and Chad. cucumbers and tomatoes and carrots and tabouleh and baba ghanoush from Brooklyn Pita.  Ami, owner (and my buddy) gives us all baklavah, dripping with honey, for dessert.

2200 home to shower, finish final packing.

Goodbye New York.  I've loved you too. : )
