Good friends are a gift you don’t appreciate until they are not there anymore. We came to New York 101 days ago and the only people we have seen are each other.

Another day of drizzle in the Apple, so tired of hanging out in the apartment we planned a short trip to the bookstore. This weekend we are taking a trip to D.C. and thought it would...
