Enter New York City. I've come full circle, having arrived back in Great Neck afer a 31 hour train ride from Nah'wlins. Walking down the street this morning people avoid eye contact, shove you aside even. This is a dog-eats-dog world. The weather in NY is miserable, the remnants of Hurricane Ida having followed me up here on the train.
I'll be spending exactly 2 weeks here before heading home, landing in Cape Town on Saturday 28 November. Am I happy about it? Sure. Am I sad to be leaving? Totally. Somehow I think it's all only going to hit me when I get back home though.
I still hope to retrieve my $610 sometime next week, and if I do I will go to Boston for a day or two, maybe a bit further up depending on how much time is left.
It turns out the Thursday before I leave is Thanksgiving. Cuz and I will be heading to the City to see the biggest parade in the world, The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, after which we'll head home to drink litres of wine, have one last laugh with the neighbours, slice up a turkey and wrap it all up. Then a plane. Then Africa.
