I left providence in the early afternoon on 9/18. The ride was a cruise to Connecticut where I decided to take a route around New York city. Everyone crosses the Hudson river over the George Washington bridge. I went over the Tappan Zee instead i’m now sure this maneuver added around 2 hours to my trip time. In hindsight I say yikes, but it was nothing. I felt such a sense of weightless elation at the sight of the river.

NY opened to me and this song was the backdrop for this leg of the adventure.
