walking a new pace

   Yes, it is true I am writing another blog within the same 24 hours this due to the pure fact that the north east is packed. Packed with people, buildings, noises, food and more than the average ears and eyes can take in, in all it's glory. But the city is not for faint, not for the timid and not for minimalists. Driving through cities is a world all in its own compared to driving in the open mid-west, and it is an adventure I do love. As if you are in a nintendo game veering from all on-coming objects destined to ram into you. Just like the driving the walking is different. You have to walk a different pace to keep up with New Yorkers, you have to live at a different pace just like traveling anywhere else outside of your current comfort box. Our trip in the city is just dating: One of us is shocked and analyzing, while another star-gazed checking it out, and another ready to make-out with it.

    This morning after we left that run down, Indian ran hotel we decided to garmin it to a coffee shop, 'seaside' sounded perfect. Although, not so picture perfect when we were a lone little vehicle in the midst of hundreds of semi-trucks that were all on a mission to get to the dock in order to fulfill our nations import/export production. As we drove down the gloomy air-smogged dock we knew that my Nebraska plated jeep, luggage carrier attached like a tumor, was sticking out amongst the eastern seafaring workers. So quickly we high-tailed it out of there, well quickly we made a U-turn to only get stuck in the chaos of the semis traffic. 

   That was truly our first kiss with "we're not in Kansas anymore" thought process. But when you venture off following your garmin's demands that is what is bound to happen. But since our first little run in with the port side clan our garmin has been faithful. After successfully dropping Seth off to ride that giant silver bird, we put in a new destination. Broadway Street, New York, New York.

   We had our dinners, but that wasn't really what captured the essence of our restaurant, it was the dessert. Filled with chocolate and more chocolate, we ate marshmallow chocolate fondu, sticks of chocolate, balls of chocolate, a banana fried ice cream mountain. I do not know how to accurately describe this delicate dish we dominated in minutes to your chocolateless mouth without making you full of jealousy and temptation, so I will not. Just know, you missed out. 

Well friends, tomorrow is a packed filled day. We have a schedule but also a high chance of spontaneity and falling off the beaten path so I won't tell you our intentional plans because you never know what will happen. Because... Where there is a will, there is a way. And we have one handsome and giant 'Will' walking beside our wandering ways.
