turning a funeral into a journey

[ArtByScars]

Yeah the ferry was pretty cool and a welcomed break from all the riding..
It only cost $29 and was well worth the money and way less money than going AROUND and riding to the eastern tip only to turn back around.
Wine country out there... wine this wine that everything wine.

Soooo on with my semi sequential story/pictorial...
Yes your advice to meet up with her was good

We cruised around the city into times square etc etc

She's a model/fashion stylist assistant aaaaaand yeah... attractive. Haha why she diggs me I have no clue but I'm not gonna question it!

From the rooftop

This is the Williamsburg bridge

There was a lot inbetween the nearly 2 weeks I stayed in BK and LI... lots of riding around and seeing different things.. exploring... so in no particular order I'll share some pictures I took...

She brought me up to the highline, which I've always wanted to see..

It was awesome and kinda strange.. esp the random running water where people would take their shoes off and walk in it (water flowing over part of the walkway)
I got this shot of Chloe (yes she has a name) up there..

She took me out to breakfast one morning... French toast which was moreso a strawberry shortcake plate of awesome.

Being a bit of a coffee connoisseiure, I'm gonna say Oslo's on bedford st in bklyn is not the best iced coffee I've had, but pretty gosh durn good!

And Coney island is the weirdest place I've ever been in my life..

The HOLE family!?? Hahahahahahahaha

The aquarium was really interesting, but so many pushy loud zombies around, it was kinda hard to fully enjoy it, but we had fun. The jellyfish were my favorite.

I put just about 2,300+ miles on my bike (I left with 23,5xx on the clock and came back with 25,8xx ... )

obviously not everything was logged, but this is the basic route.
here's a map of the completed loop:

it was a somber start...
after the funeral, all I knew was that I wanted to do the big loop to LI, but no exact plans of where to go or stop.
it was an impulsive, aimless journey...
and if nothing else..

...I'd say it ended well.
