NYC home. Have decided to leave this blog open and continue to post things and expand. These were the text responses yesterday from my friends as I touched down in JFK yesterday afternoon:

Kevin-Holla!
Crystal-Woooooo
Salo-Im so happy. How are you?
Dari-Yay!!
Mikey-Welcome home!
Patrick-NICE!
John-!!!!!!!!!!
Mely-Hollerrrr

My friend Jairo says that I am looking for less in each day that I live more. Each day in search of less. Tomorrow I will go to Puerto Rico to be with new old friends. Jairo also gave me a surfing magazine that I am going to love for the plane ride. Woot! I really like the capital here, Santo Domingo. Some parts are crowded and busy at night and it is very cool for me. There is also an olympic center where Jairo lives, that I liked very much. Big free facilities for all kinds of free sports and things.

Hi. Hello. From Monte Llano, Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. An internet cafe. Flying was cool. It gets cooler with time. The more times you do it. I have pictures, but the connection here is slow, and Im on the digital clock. Today we all skateboarded. Tomorrow we will surf.

Off we go!
