Just stuffed myself with all kinds of delicacies from Whole Foods. If only we had one of those stores in Denmark! The selection is so wide that I literally roamed the store with gaped mouth and a mounting confusion! (What the hell is a kombucha drink?!?). How do Americans make any decision at all? Too much to choose from and everything looks delicious. By a miraculous stroke of luck I manage to wander all the way to the cashiers section. There are so many lines t...

Now that my mental capabilities have been restored, post jet lag, I am now officially a New Yorker! I ride the subway like I've done nothing else the rest of my life, no hesitation at intersections, almost a precognitive sense of direction! Who needs a map with New York street grid system?

Anyway it was interesting to see this hub. Even though to me ...

This morning I decided to take the ferry from Jersey to WFC hoping the fresh air would wake me up from my jet-lag haze. It partially worked. Now watching a squirrel digging out some nuts presumably, as I'm enjoying my first real pizza in 5 months, gluten free of course, washed down with ginger ale. Central Park is sunny and quiet today. Been walking through uptown amongst very quaint buildings! The subway was quite filthy I must say but very convenient. Now tim...
