The beginning is actually the end of my time in Toronto. Now that I have finished all of my exams, the only task left is to write my dissertation, which I can work on from anywhere (i.e. New York)!
To celebrate the end of the school year and most
importantly the end of long distance, Rich and
I made a visit to the CN Tower's posh rotating
restaurant. Unfortunately, right after this
a cloud engulfed the tower and obscured
the view.
One last picture of the old apartment
after we packed everything up.
On our return to New York, we stopped at
Niagara Falls for an evening. We had just gotten
over the US border when we decided to walk
right back to Canada (the view was better!).
Back in New York, I came across
some exciting events like this
talk by Edward Albee on Samuel
Beckett hosted by the famous NYC
bookstore, The Strand.
But I only had a few days in New
York before I hopped on a plane to
visit Austin:
In Austin, Tony and I endured the
infamous 3.5 hour line at Franklin's
BBQ...
But it was worth it!
Less of a wait and equally enjoyable
was this beautiful sunset
over lake Travis after a delicious
family dinner at Steiner Ranch.
And I of course I couldn't miss out on this old
high school haunt for breakfast tacos with Robert!
I'm safe and sound back in New York now, settling down and getting ready for the summer. The pools open this weekend, which means I begin work on Friday! I'm looking forward to the warmer weather and more blog posts to come!
