NYC-Princeton-Airport ... This is belated.

I know this is super behind, but I took all of these pictures darn it, and I want to use them. Oh, hi.

Before I left for Paris, I headed to NYC for the usual sleepover party with one Kelly OC. This was accompanied by a trek to Princeton for a meeting with a professor ... And catching up with Fred, an old friend from ... All the way back to first grade!

Anyway, he gave me the tour of campus (hahaha, Gothic), and I felt compelled to compare this statue to the Nittany lion. You'll see, this becomes a unifying theme of my adventuring. I give it points for scarier-looking teeth, but the Nittany lion is pretty stealthy looking.

After hustling back and forth campus trying to get HR the correct paperwork for dolla dolla bills, I decided it was hot enough to merit a splash. You can't see it here, but there were a couple of really classy girls sunbathing in bikinis. Parallel to the lawn of Old Main drawn here.

Back in Queens, Kelly and I decided it was a perfect night for Astoria Park and CHEESE and ... Surprise, surprise, WINE. Happy Liquor indeed.

I can never remember what number my dad's school was ... So I took a picture, jokingly, and sent it to him. NAILED IT. This was it.

Perfect afternoon for a picnic ...

And even prettier as we get ready to leave!

This is just random, but the fact that this minivan has Consul tags really cracked me up. Minivans aren't exactly the image I'd expect them to be targeting ...

Waiting for Kelly to finish work ... Decided to go read in front of the NY Public Library ...

This lion is pretty stellar. I mean, he looks like he could eat a Nittany lion.

It was a fun few days, as usual. One of my favorite places was a grilled cheese specialty restaurant in Astoria. A RESTAURANT THAT SPECIALIZES IN GRILLED CHEESE. I love having Kelly in the city to find all the things I would like for me :)
