Spending some more time in NYC, exploring the burroughs, eating pizza, loving it! :)
Biking in the city is way easier than expected, with lots of bike lanes and other infrastructure.
Took the Staten Island ferry, what a scenic ride!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Made it to NYC!!! :)
The Big Apple!!!!!!!!!!! :)
While crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, it started to rain. A few dozen people gathered at the peak, under a small amount of protection. We had a great view of the Manhattan skyline at night. I heard around as many languages as there were people.

Here's the latest travel map, up to New York, NY, USA! :)

Over the weekend I rode into Philadelphia. In one day I've gone from Maryland into Pennsylvania, then to Delaware, and back to Pennsylvania. Now I'm setting out for New Jersey and New York! :)
Lots of towns and cities along the way, this is one of the older and busier parts of the US...
A philly cheesesteak is like a hot dog but with beef... It's like a taco norteno de carne asada but with an Italian loaf... It's like a White Castle burger but with hot cherry peppers... It's like... Well, it's its own thing! :)

Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Rode into Pennsylvania last night, what a beautiful state! :)

Enjoy our new full length trailer for LIFE!!!! :)

Maryland is a surprisingly beautiful city. For some reason it even seems to smell nice in many places -- cigar smoke, food, and lots of other pleasant aromas.
When I first got into town, went by a row of loooong rowhouses, in brick, with people spending time sitting outside on the front steps, talking, walking. Went to the inner harbor. Went by the old baseball stadium, where the Baltimore Orioles play. Felt like magic. Went by Babe Ruth's birthplace. Felt like extra magic. The best baseball player ever!!!!!!!!! :)
Many cool neighborhoods. Apparently the city population dropped precipitously in the eighties, amid exiting industry and entering street drugs. Now a mix of charming affluence and poverty. Lots of urban areas with some convivial activities.
By the way, with so many municipalities on the way in this corridor from Washington up north, I can easily go through multiple different places in a day. :)

Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

After a short but active visit in Washington, DC, I'm now in Maryland on the way to Baltimore. The Baltimore road goes through a series of cool places.

Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
