Learning coordinates
You make a good point I guess we are good at coordinates. We don't think about it. NYC is so amazing. Not like the "real U.S.A." and yet it is. Glad you took in a spinning class. How wonderful. And jazz....perfect! You are doing the city right. Good for you! 5 days is not enough please come back.
