Howdy! I was fortunate again this year to be one of the winners of the annual big trip with the Opportunity Scholars Program at Washington State Community College. This year the trip was to Philadelphia and New York City. Chintu was able to accompany me on the trip, which made it perfect in spite of a bus driver and a tour director that were not so proficient at their jobs. I decided (with some extra prompting from Chintu) that it was my vacation and probably our only chance to do anything like that this year so I was NOT going to be my typical self and get bent out of shape over things that really don't matter. So, when we got lost numerous times and had our schedule changed even more. Oh, well! We still had a great time...walking around in Phillie in the area of the Liberty Bell, seeing local gay couples walking down the street holding hands...we felt right at home. Actually arriving in New York City via a ferry from New Jersey, having lunch on a deck at a 3rd floor Latin restaurant on the South Street Seaport, shopping in Chinatown, kissing in Central Park, lying in the sun on a rock in a slightly secluded area of the park, photographing the sky and ourselves, (see today's posted pictures), photographing one another, then, getting caught in the rain in Central Park...how romantic is THAT? We had a few hours to hang out with Chintu's medical school friend, Murali and his lovely wife, Sradha, and they took us out to eat at a high class Indian restaurant....YUM! We arrived home yesterday morning after riding all night, slept a lot yesterday, stopped in at the farm to check on the garden, and headed to Athens. Peace and love to all who read!
