Ah...it was great to be back where a girl can get herself a cupcake and go line dancing even if it isn't the popular thing to do. Many thanks to the good people at Camp Erin & Amelia for their endless hospitality. When my flight landed at JFK, I decided to embrace the Brooklynite guts in me and get loud. So I headed to the taxi station and announced, "I'm going to Park Slope. Does anyone want to share a cab?" Now this might not sound like much of an effort, but in the 3 years I lived in Brooklyn I never once asked anyone to share a cab. The Kansan in me always emerged as super-shy Amber who doesn't like to butt into other people's business and prevented me from saving the big bucks. Luckily, ... read more

Tjoho! Mykje har hendt sidan siste oppdatering, paa berre to usle dagar. Skal oppdatere betre naar eg kjem til Mexico City (reiser dit i morgon), men akkurat no maa eg springe ut og ete frukost og deretter ta inn over meg New York foer vi reiser til flyplassen i kveld og overnattar der.

Turen fraa Gardermoen til Newark gjekk ganske greit, saa greit det kan gaa paa eit bittelite fly med masse ungar som begynte aa skrike utover den litt over ni timars lange turen. O joy. Kom til New York i gaar sein ettermiddag, og kasta fraa oss tinga vaare for aa gaa ut og ete litt. Endte opp paa 89th street, paa ein ultraamerikansk burgersjappe som heite TEXAS. Hahah. Andreas trykte i seg verdas stoerste BIFFburger, og eg aat noko saa herleg motseiande som "Chicken Vegetable". Gjekk nedover Broadway og berre saag oss rundt i lukkerus heilt til me vart saa slitne at me ramla inn paa "Big Nick's" for aa drikke pils. Paa vegen fann me ogsaa ein ... read more

So I flew from Miami up to New York City, especially for a reunion of my college fraternity brothers, (Penn State, Phi Sigma Delta). It was unbelievable to be in the presence of some guys I haven't seen for years and years. I also took lots of photos, of course, so I hope you enjoy them.... read more
