London week -1

I am already missing London, even after a week.

For starters, John Lewis. I mean, department stores here don't have haberdashery departments, why????

Secondly, calling my friends. Even in London I had the skype set up to call home, but I haven't worked out how to call the UK cost effectively yet. So not only do I miss my friends, I can't call them. It is strange coming back, things feel really normal but sometimes in a weird way, like my year away never happened. I kept looking at my peeling legs to remind me that I was in India two weeks ago!

So I am looking through pictures from the year and will post some highlights that I may have missed...here are some from between India and New York.

Day with my girls:


My movers, Ellie and Alex, taking a break. Slackers.


Back on the job:


Good bye dinner at Lee and David's:


One of my local pubs, The Nobody Inn, in Newington Green:

New York Observations: Week 1.

Fall foliage is not over estimated. It's pretty amazing.
Park Slope:


Long Island:


I wish I had put my head in this picture for scale- because this bagel was the size of it. Totally worth the Gluten splurge.


There are street signs! In places you can read them! What a concept.

Clear, cold, sunny days.


Lastly, for the moment, Kombucha. It tastes like vinegar but oh have I missed it!

Unemployed, uninsured, and homeless.

I had a lovely and crazy 3 days in London after India (which I may do some retroactive blogging about) and am officially back in New York. It feels weird and totally normal to be here.

Agenda:
1. Get a job.
2. See friends and family.
3. Transition.
4. Blog about 1, 2, and 3.

Stay tuned! I know, it is so exciting.
