Tour of Sweet Eateries in the Village
It’s been awhile since I’ve made plans to go out and explore the city. Mostly, it had been dreary, cold, and a stressful start to the year. Mother nature worked out on my side as fog and rain dissipated to warmth and sun. I walked through Soho to find a beautiful public artwork on the…

A Slice of Pizza and Life
This weekend has been one of those weekend I wish I could take away all the bad things and keep only the good things. There are times where you wonder, what is a life? What happens after life? Will I see you again? Will I see her again? Will they remember me? Am I really…

Walkway over the Hudson + Minnewaska State Park + New Paltz
At 212 feet tall and 1.28 miles long, [Walkway over the Hudson] is the longest, elevated pedestrian bridge in the world. Is it? When you live in the borough of Manhattan without a car, you don’t really travel farther than what public transportation allows. I am lucky that I live not too far from JFK…

London
The image of London, the landscape of its countryside, and the mood of its people has been painted from various British novels, BBC classic shows, and daydreams of what could be the land of Lizzie Bennet and Mr. Darcy.

= I’ve never been to Vermont. I’ve lived in Massachusetts for 16 years (plus, I always go back up for holidays) but I’ve never visited Vermont, besides the two times my parents drove through it to get to Montreal. And my memory brings back the smell of cows. hmm… And I never really flew short…

Day 7: Hasta Luego
It was the end of the trip. Costa Rica is indeed an adventure vacation. It is a place of tranquility, beauty, natural wonders, and geniality. It felt like the longest vacation I ever had. We did so much, ate well, slept well, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I admit, I did not miss anyone or anything…

Day 6: Recouping
Having loved the free hot springs the day before, Anna and I decided to wake up at 6AM and head there again. Once more, we trekked down the lonely road, running into many local workers for the Tabacon resort. Work starts very early there. I noticed a lot of shops open at 7 or 8AM…
