A few days in Boston, before my flight to Berlin.

It never occurred to me that a frozen lake could act like a bridge to an otherwise-unreachable island in the middle of the lake.

For both New York and Boston, my conclusion is that the weather isn’t ideal, but it’s not a dealbreaker. I think I could be happy living in either. Still, let’s see what Europe has to offer before deciding.

Second snow day. The Airbnb I stayed at had a 6-inch snowfall measurement thingy - it was completely buried. Finally, this is the east coast winter weather I was promised.

One month and only two snow days after returning to New York, I am now in Boston (and finally posting all of this). Next stop: Berlin, Germany.

First New York snow day, and first time I’d ever seen a partially-frozen lake.

Kind of weak. 2 days later, you couldn’t even tell it had snowed. Is this all you got, nature?

A subway rat welcomes me back to New York.

Also, a walk past some Central Park landmarks I managed to miss during the summer.

I came back here to see what the winter weather is like. I expected more snow…

My electric bike had a full battery the night before leaving home for more travel. Can’t leave it full for months, that harms the battery. How to use up the battery, I asked myself?
