After another goodbye (we've had a lot of those, and always after a visit cut too short), we passed by the coffee shop where we had our first date eleven (!) years ago. How sweet...

We arrived in New York City to stay with friends on the Upper West Side and experience the joys that go with trying to find parking there. We didn't think it could get worse than Northside Chicago - little did we know. But it also shares the variety of foods (a little touch of Vietnam this time) with our host, yet another youth group friend of Marthame's who has gone on to be a Presbyterian pastor. There must've been a little mafia back there at First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta.
