A View of the Brooklyn Bridge

Regardless of how long I spent in New York–2 years, almost to the day–there were still so many things I never got a chance to do. One such thing was taking a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Granted, this is one of the first things most tourists do when they visit the city. But for some reason, I never got around to doing it until, well, two days before I left New York. I met up with my friend Taylor, who has also been in New York for roughly two years and never walked the bridge. It was a great experience.

I hope to take more advantage of my time here in Paris and throughout Europe, not taking for granted all those great experiences that are right at my fingertips.

One of the best things about my temporary home is the view from the rooftop. I spent a good part of the afternoon reading my current book, “In The Merde for Love.” This is the second in a series of books from author Stephen Clarke who writes about his experiences and life in Paris. I recently completed his first book, “A Year in the Merde,” which I thoroughly enjoyed. In any case, it was one of the more relaxing afternoons that I’ve had in a while. Check out the picture to get an idea of why.
