i woke up with the desire to go to see cape cod. i had read the name in many books, so i called my friend and we sped off at 12:02pm in the bat mobile! my friend told me that cape cod was only 3.5 hours away....it ended up being 5.5 hours away!!! we got there at 5.30pm, and i thought, what am i doing this for??, until we actually crossed the border into the cape. when i saw all that sand i understood why so much has been written about it. apparently, as the glacier was moving accross the americas trillions of years ago, it pushed in front of it a lot of sand. by the time it reached the end of the land, it just dumped all that sand out over the edge into the ocean, and that is how cape cod has become one giganitic dune. seriously, it's all sand. beautiful sand, but none the less, sand. we drove all the way to the end of it, to Provincetown. where we took out our bikes and biked on their awesome dune bike path for 3 hours. we watched the sunset at the lighthouse beach. the other thing about cape cod is that it is at sea level, so in many places the bike path became deep puddles. i rode through them up to my ankles on my little old raleigh bike! the sunset was amazing, i collected rocks for my friends whom i stay with in nyc. the ride back was wiked fun in the dark, because those same puddles when you rode through them reflected the trees perfectly on the glass-like surface.
i hope everyone will have the chance to go one time to cape cod, only thing i recommend is to start driving earlier. the town itself is soooo cute! the little buildings and the food are great! my friend nagged me all the way back to nyc (we arrived at 3.30 am) saying, "see, it only took 3.5 hours to drive back!" yah, thats cuz he drove 90 miles an hour all the way with no traffic. riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! check out cape cod seashore cape cod magazine cape cod map cape cod bike trails
my friends took me for a night out in uptown eastside, manhatten. the bars were great for me because now there is a law saying it is illegal to smoke in public places, so they are all smoke free! by accident, while looking for one friend, we stumbled upon a wiked place i liked so much called DIP. great music and great looking people in there. must go back for sure.
the cherry on the evening was the ride home, right through times square. amazing the skyscrapers at night and the crazy lights everywhere. just like tokyo! check out times square
today was such a great day...my friend called me up and said he had a car for the day and wanted to drive me to all my castings!
i had a callback for a big job at 1:00 and an important photographer to see scheduled at 1:00pm also! i was able to make them both AND do some sightseeing around town. what luxury. check out the empire state building
i have just landed in JFK airport, and my friend picked me up from the airport. my friends where i am staying are not home, so we drove around looking at the city making our way to my favorite juice bar on 2nd ave/11th street in the east village, LUCK'S LIQUITERIA. a berry powerful for me, please. then we curise down to the financial district to my friends house.
after much time in the darkness, i burst out into the light. spring is here and i have just been in hamburg where i biked around the whole city for two weeks. so nice. i feel so fit and well in my skin. i ran and biked around the alster daily on castings! i am strong enough to do yoga when i get to new york. i leave on easter day the 20th april from amsterdam---in 2 hours!
