I've been out West for work again this winter, recently returning to New York City just in time for... more winter.
This trip took me to southern Utah / northern Arizona. The least populated area of the country, still full of some of the most unforgettable people not seen here. More on that coming soon -- to a television near you.
One more from Puerto Rico.
I took a rather impromptu trip to Puerto Rico over Thanksgiving. My first non-work, non-family-visit, real trip in a really long time. A bonafide vacation, if you will. Highlights included a hike through El Yunque's cloud forest, 80-degree days, ocean-breeze nights, and cool tile floors and bed sheets. Your basic Paradise.
I'll go ahead and call this "Puerto Rico I" with the best intention of sharing more from the trip, soon.
I made it back home to Missouri for Fall - for the first time in a long time. Living in NYC, I tend to miss Fall most years, so I was excited to finally see some color. I was also warned not to expect much, given the super drought and heat this summer in the Midwest. But the leaves pulled through.
(From Top to Bottom: View from Stone Hill Winery in Hermann, MO; My good friend Danielle on a walk in the woods in Columbia; Danielle's dog Hugo).
I'm back in Brooklyn for a spell after spending the better part of the top third of this year working out West - where the landscapes are wide and the light painterly.
Side note: I just read on a Subway Ad that the average Brooklyn apartment building is separated from its neighbor by 26 inches.
