ninty three degrees

and baking may not be the best use of my college education
but
eating this was worth it!




and spending an evening in hagerhood was a blast!
delicious meal
fun people
great movie: Red [recommend!]
well spent Wednesday night

extended stay

but not necessarily in a good way, complements of Delta air
We got home at 11:30am Monday instead of 9pm Sunday
But what can you do in a situation like that other than roll with the punches.

That was the only hiccup of the trip.
The rest of the trip = Three good days in NYC

coney island
Brighton beach
walked the Brooklyn bridge
dinner out





Day two:
Biked a full day. All around the city and central park

Side trip to flushing hotel [not on the original itinerary]
