AFD and NYC, episode three, what if the learning is the living?

New York City is just amazing.

It is what I hoped it would be, and more than I hoped it would be.

The weather, besides the rainy day I arrived, has been nothing but blue skies and fall

breezes.

I've seen three Broadway shows so far, and yes, I've eaten New York pizza.

My apartment is cute and small, and exactly what I needed.

A fire truck and a street cleaner went by, squeezing down my tight street during a Zoom call

yesterday.

And I just lived for the whole experience.

This is the big city you guys.

I've had tips and guac with some of my best friends and ridden the subway with so far,

100% accuracy as far as getting on the right trains and going the right direction.

Remember the one train goes both uptown and downtown.

A fact I have to pause and think about before walking into any station.

There's an incredibly cute coffee shop just around the block for my apartment and an

elementary school across the street.

I sat outside the coffee shop and worked for a while yesterday, busy sidewalk in front

of me, sun shining and warm, kids on the playground across the street.

It's what you see in the movies when you see a fall day in New York City.

I've walked 10,000 steps every day, mostly on accident.
