“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”

Another long, adventurous day in the Big Apple! I remember waking up from day one feeling like I had just done P90x and Insanity at the same time. My calves have never burned so badly! We’d get off the Subway, and prepare ourselves for miles of walking to a destination when we had one. We found ourselves free floating most of the time, which I’ve come to believe is the best way to really learn about a new place.

Sure, we saw the touristy things like the Statue of Liberty and oo’d and ahh’d at the flashy lights in Time Square, but true New York and true culture was discovered in cafés and streets less traveled.

Part III coming this week, stay tuned for more NY awesomeness.
