okay OKAY, it's a plague

Unless the full New York City experience is clawing your way through crowds of thousands of tourists, then I believe I only got a partial view.


I'm back home now, after 6 days of driving, flying, metro-ing, Amtrack-ing, walking, subway-ing, walking, subway-ing, walking, walking, walking, subway-ing, Amtrack-ing, driving, metro-ing, flying, and then driving. And I am tired.


I learned so much on the trip, but most of it is interpersonal and highly specific, and therefore probably boring to anyone who's not me. Although I will say that if you get the chance to go soon to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I highly recommend the Byzantine exhibit. Some of the things in there almost gave me a beauty-induced nervous breakdown.
