Concrete Jungle Where Teams are Made Of

“In the high country of the mind one has to become adjusted to the thinner air of uncertainty, and to the enormous magnitude of questions asked, and to the answers proposed to these questions. The sweep goes on and on and on so obviously much further than the mind can grasp one hesitates even to go near for fear of getting lost in them and never finding one’s way out.”

Travel on traveler. The traveling bug is real.

Where, oh where have I been? Since my last post, I spent a night in DC and two nights in NYC before jetting off to Israel for 10 days. I figured I’d break up the past 2 weeks into 2 blog posts. How fitting. Israel will be in the next post, I promise.

While in DC, I got dinner with some lovely college friends at a delicious Mexican restaurant in Georgetown called El Centro D.F.

¡Lo delicioso!

Cheers to college friends who are forever friends.

Ubers of laughter and allusions throughout the city.

But seriously, Uber is one hellUVA service when you’re motor skills won’t cut it. 😉

Before catching our NYC flight the next day, my trusty travel buddy, Sara and I grabbed lunch with another college buddy, Colleen, at The Brown Bag.

A few stops and we were en route to the airport.

Me: (While Sara is driving) Can you take a left here?
Sara: Well I am

Both of us: Wait, what time is our flight? Where’s my passport? Do we need boarding passes?

#Clueless in our travels

But it’s the best way to be. No expectations, just living in the moment.

We stayed in an AirBnB in NYC for two nights before Israel. We hit The Smith for drinks and apps with friends and then a super secret speakeasy.

Speakeasies have cool old fashion cocktails with extra pizazz.

But not nearly enough as this girl who happened to also be in NYC for a few days.

Bring on the giggles and excitement. Sorority sisters know how to get down.

I somehow managed to convince the girls to go on a tech startup tour over at FourSquare with my friend Tom.

Sara: Where’s this “Tom?”
Alex: He said he’s 5 minutes away.
Boots: Alex, did you make him up again??

Don’t worry, he did finally arrive. 🙂

After I got my inner geek on, we went to Yuca Bar & Restaurant in East Village for dinner.

In New York…Concrete jungle where teams are made of
There’s no one you can’t see

One of my favorite parts about traveling is getting a group together to go out and enjoy it all. So little time so many friends. Just know it never ends.
