Back at home

Second day in New York didn't change our view of the city too much. The city eludes us in some way. It's a bustling place full of everything but we just haven't been able to enjoy it as much as we'd like. Maybe we were just too tired. Yet, we had have a good time even though after 9/11 it's impossible to store luggage in railway stations. Luckily we found a privately run luggage storage. We only had three hours left of the day so we took a boat cruise and had milkshakes to cool off.

At the airport there were problems with computer systems so we spent a good while in the check-in line eating chocolate. Flight to Finland was unremarkable enough, the only disturbance was an infant who clearly had decided that flying just wasn't for him. At home, after 12 hours of sleep Otter and I are still jet lagged and even writing this is happening sooo slow..

If you're in slightest considering doing a road trip in USA, do it. It was absolutely brilliant. America is a bit like a good breakfast burrito: it's a vast variety of countries, cultures, people and ways of life wrapped into a hearty dish that will leave you full and asking for more at the same time.
