Recap of good times

I don't have a lot of time to recap the last couple of weeks because I have a lot of school stuff to get done today, my day off (bless all these random holidays).

Shon came to visit last week, which was really fun. We ate fried chicken and waffles, went to McSorley's (the bar downtown that is the oldest bar in the US -- Abe Lincoln used to drink there!), shopped along Fifth Avenue, saw all the sights (Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge, Little Italy, yadda yadda), visited NYU and visited PS 132.

Here are some highlights:

Our second round of fried chicken in the East Village.

Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge

Some policemen on horses who seemed shocked when they learned I taught in the Bronx. A little too shocked, if you ask me ...


Anyway, besides that, it's been all school for me. Still trying to figure things out. It's hard, but it already feels rewarding.

Until next time, which I promise to be sooner rather than later, ciao!
