New York. We love it here. It is by far the best place we have been so far. Thanks to our amazing friends, we got to see New York like a local (which is better than seeing it like a tourist, in case you were wondering). We stayed with Evan in Brooklyn, saw Spanish Harlem with Leanne, walked around the city with Caty and Zach, and explored so many parts of the city on our own. Thanks to Leanne's suggestion, we saw High Line park which is an awesome city park that rises above the streets of the former meat packing district. It used to be used as a railroad to the port, but was recently transformed to a beautiful walkway through the city. Since it took us several hours to wander from one side of the city to the other, our slow pace was rewarded with a great view of the sunset over the Hudson River. One more reason to slow down and appreciate the city.

And the food! So delicious. We became acquainted with the best Cuban sandwich ever at Cafe Habana, the most amazing dessert at WD50, the most flavorful falafel at the Falafel Shop, our last taco in the US, and the mouthwatering pancakes and egg sandwich at Green Leaves.

Even though we have an incredible journey waiting for us, we both left New York dreaming of the day when we can return to the city that put us in an
empire state of mind.
