Placeholder. And what places they were:)
Safely in about a third of the way home, after a four-state, fourteen-hour stretch ending with the first Mets win I've seen in at least two years. Many pictures will follow; the good ones will be coming from my seatmate. For now, though, just notes to me on the things I need to remember to post about:
* I really can't stand traffic, and every state's stretch of I-95, as well as every expressway/parkway/driveway in NYC and Long Island, have way more than I can stand;
* The Belt Parkway in Brooklyn is prettier than I ever remember it being, though;
* Downstate courts hate me- and the Mets;
* The drive from one of said courts to Citi Field was surprisingly nice and full of memories, even though I doubt I'd ever taken it before;
* Mostly, the game: good friends and a great result;
* Homeward bound requires driving by the Death Star home of the Evil Empire, which is now recognizable by the boston.sucks billboard somebody planted along the Bruckner- stay classy, Steinbrenners.
More to come.
