Nueva York

.

I am now in NYC. Flew in via JFK Airport early Saturday 17 July. Within three hours after landing, I had a bitter but sweet taste of the city attitude that missed. Many hours later, a not so stable man said he’ll shoot me if I come to his part of Brooklyn. Moments after that, an old lady said ‘thank you’ extensively for helping her with something. I’ll write about all that later.

The base for this segment of the trip, is specifically Roosevelt Island, Manhattan. My host, whose flat I’m staying in,  is someone I’ve only met once before prior to this trip, ironically, in this same city, this same month, four years ago. And the hospitality received thus far has been tremendous.

To note, unexpectedly, I left Caracas with a smile and a bang. The brief transit at Port of Spain Airport of Trinidad and Tobago, made me consider visiting the Caribbean region sometime in the future. Additional note, I observed that my hair now, when stretched, touches my chin.
