A quick trip to New York/New Jersey was just what the doctor ordered after a full on two weeks in South America. Spending time laying on the couch with my boyfriend while we watched high-brow television like the Jersey Shore and Alaskan Bush People (our personal favorite brain damaging shows). Being back in North America after having been in Peru and Argentina over the past few weeks was a strange experience. Each time I return to the U.S after a trip to a foreign country, I notice things I hadn’t noticed while living there for an extended period of time…almost as if I was blind to many of the things that bothered me. Anyway! I was thrown right back in to the American diet…yikes. My meals included something called a Dorito’s burger (can you think of anything more American?), the New Jersey trifecta (bagels, pizza and Chinese), and copious amounts of ice-cream. Safe to say, I need a detox after eating junk and laying down all day. Aside from my laziness, time was well spent with my boyfriend Steve before we said goodbye for 8 weeks. A trip into the city was the highlight of the short week-long trip to the Northeast. I always persuade Steve to take me into the city each time I visit because its one of my favorite cities and every time I visit, I experience it in a different way. This time, we visited Rockefeller Center to see the famous Christmas tree in all its glory. I’d visited plenty of times while the tree was being set-up, but never had the chance to see it completely lit. Afterward, we went for lunch and visited Madame Tussauds, the famous wax museum. The last time I’d been to Mme Tussauds was nearly 10 years ago in London, so it was fun to get the chance to go with Steve to the New York location. We took loads of photos and laughed our way through the maze of wax. By mid afternoon we made our way back to New Jersey to avoid the rush hour. The remainder of the week was spent doing what we do best, relaxing and napping on the couch watching TV and movies. It may not sound super exciting but after my long trip down South, it was just what I needed. Not to mention, laying on the couch is our favorite thing to do together anyway. The week flew by unfortunately, as we said our goodbyes at the airport Sunday afternoon before I started my 24-hour journey to Singapore. Only 8 more weeks until Steve visits! <3
