Back on Rt 1
23 de junio de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
This part of Rt 1 is a bit of a wasteland. All big box stores and fast.food. Sun is being tamed by some hazy clouds, though, and there's sidewalk. We listened to the NYT podcast "The Daily" to startLeer más

Podcast

We do look a bit incongruous with our hats,Leer más
