Back at work getting a bit dusty.
So as soon as I was back in the states I went to downtown NYC. I bought a cupcake and since this town hates public seating I sat on the sidewalk. Nearly immediately a guard told me to get up. I could stand but sitting was loitering. I’m not in Europe anymore but back in the land of the free. #goodtobehome
I love these little jumper planes. A row all to myself (after I chased out the seat crasher)
Welcome home to the insecurity state. #jfkairport #jfk #merica
Woot. Back in the states. I have a layover in NYC so cupcakes at Bryant park are in order. #nyc #crumb #cupcake

I love going to foreign grocery stores. To see what the people eat. On this case. Mayonnaise for your frites just like they serve in mcdonalds. Mmm. #rome
See Americans. Everyone else knows there is no reason to refrigerate eggs. Take note. #rome #eggs #sillyamerican
Me and this little contraption have become close friends. Did you know you can’t buy regular ground coffee in Italy? I didn’t. Espresso grind only which does not work in the coffee press I brought. #rome #coffee #rome
Me. Morning me anyway. A touch puffy and sleepy. It’s been a long but fun vacation. #me
My lunchtime view. #rome #nature
More pigeons just don’t care. #pigeon #roma

I don’t really like mosaics. But damn this took some skill. #mosaic #roma
I took a trip to popeville. Saw little statues of Good Times Pope. Here he rocks the hipster lens less glasses. #pope #rome
Me as Pinocchio. #pinocchio #sillytourist #rome
The funniest things can be found on wall mounted vending machines. This is cigarettes, but there has also been condoms, lube, and for her vibrators. You can prep for the whole evening from vending machines on the street. #roma #rome
Nature vs the surveillance state. I think there is poetry in this image. #fuckthesystem #surveillancestate
The crowds are fine. At a distance. #roma #rome
Pigeon don’t care. #rome #roma #pigeon

I stopped in this rest around just to look at their wall. They were surprised when I studied it, took pics, and them left. Nope. That was all I wanted. I have seen this wall online and was excited to see it in person. Cool idea. #rome #planter
