Two Very Different Worlds Separated by 3000 miles of Interstate Highways

We're finally back in Sequim after a week's vacation in New York City. A part of me misses New York because it is The City. No other city in the world can compare to what you can see or do in NYC. You can practically do anything there - whether you like art, theater, music, books, etc, etc. You can spend the whole day in Central Park and forget that you are in the middle of it all. It doesn't matter what you want to eat, you will surely find a place in the 2 mile by 11 mile area that is Manhattan.

Then there is Sequim, where the streets are empty after 7p.m. (no kidding). It is the ultimate small town, where people are nice and everything is laid back. Of course, there is almost nothing to do here unless you're into hiking, golf or fishing.

We will, in this lifetime, definitely move and live at least a year near or in New York. There is no question about it. City life is for me and KC likes it there too. Maybe when Matmat is old enough.
