Stone Church Hike in Dover, New York

Hiking with friends on a visit to Wassaic. Fresh air, fresh air.

What a beauty. Seen in Fishtown on the same street as our airbnb.

Probably the best sunset of my life.

I really like Philly. I've managed to visit a handful of times while living in New York. The scale of the city is really perfect and the neighborhoods surrounding downtown are really interesting.

A little corner of the beach in Las Terrenas filled with boats.

AKA Bacardi Island. It's kind of cheesy (the island is half private resort, half public beach, and accessible only by boat) but its also ridiculously beautiful. White sand. Turquoise water. Warm breeze.

Some of the best hand painted signage around.

My second time in Xochimilco. It was a busy, busy, weekend day. So many boats we could barely move! It was still wonderful.

Life! It's funny. I've been to Teotihuacan twice now. And this time I climbed the Pyramid of the Sun all the way to the top, instead of chickening out halfway up like last time. Small things.

Constructed between 200 and 450 AD, the Pyramid of the Moon is old, but also not that old, which is kind of what blows my mind about Teotihuacan. (For comparison, the Egyptian pyramids are about 2,000 years older).
Did you know there have been humans on earth for about two hundred thousand years?

Ok this is probably a weird assortment of pictures but they were all taken one afternoon after we visited the zoo in Chapultepec to see the PANDAS. I saw pandas. Finally! And I didn't get a good picture at all, so here is a carousel and a food stall and an incredible chorizo huarache.

We spent a few lazy afternoons reading books on the edge of this forum in the long shadows of the late afternoon sun.

Mercado San Juan

This is a rather amazing market in the historic, gritty, densely packed downtown end of the Centro district. We had a slow, slack-jawed wander through here on our way between visiting the Centro de la Imagen and drinking pulque at Las Duelistas. There is everything here.

The Long Path, New Jersey

If you catch the train to the 175th Street subway station in New York, and walk about 10 minutes to the George Washington Bridge, and then about 30 minutes over the bridge (beware it's very loud and windy!), you can walk straight onto the Long Path. The Long Path is 357 miles of walking trail between Fort Lee, New Jersey and Altamont, New York.
One late winter day when the weather was sunny (but still cold) Adam and I walked along the trail and covered a few miles along the top of the cliffs to Allison Park, enjoying the views of the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge.
