The last days of summer

As the summer is drawing to a close, and my time in America is ending, it's somewhat exciting and sad. Exciting as to what is ahead and sad to see another summer over.
 For our last nine days we moved to Bushwick.To yet another apartment. Which my friend kindly gave us. Although I feel more at home here than I did in Manhattan I've always lived here and loved it, but it is somewhat different with Alessia, the parks are not as clean and there just isn't as much to do for children on those hot days and in general. I Find myself returning to union square park every morning to spend our final days with all of Alessia's friends.  Bushwick feels dirtier than it used to, and just not somewhere I would like Alessia to grow up in. Everything seems so much cheaper half the price in fact. Although previously I would have thought it expensive, but in comparison to Manhattan it's for nothing.

Manhattan

As I way up the pros and cons of moving to New York. As I consider life style choices, jobs, apartments, child care and what would just make me feel better. I am between minds as to what is best. As I get ready to wave yet another group of friends god bye, and Alessia to move to another bed. I feel happy that we made the trip to New York, but undecided as to what the future will hold. Alessia enjoyed her time here so much, there is so much to offer to children and also just constant entertainment. Like today we stopped to look at a performing parrot. We walked through china town and drank coconuts from their shells and took in the colors and vibrant settings.  We rode the subway and chatted to our fellow passengers. Played in Barnes and nobles and ate lovely Asian food. The possibilities are endless, the list goes on we have constant stimulation. It's an incredible city.  I want to pack up my final days, to see everyone and everything that I want to see. I want to shop till I drop, but I hold back and restrain myself. Not only do I want clothes for me, but I also have Alessia to contend with. 


My time In New York has been  very different than any other time I have been here. Yet it was so full of people and experiences I could never have imagined possible. It was more real than any other visit. It confirmed even more that I love New York. That it gives me the sense of feeling alive. It has so much to offer to men, women and children  Some things are free, some are donations based and some you have to pay for but it is all incredibly good. 


The last days of summer or somewhat romantic, as the autumn breeze starts to whistle in and I start to plan our trip to India. But first I get to return home to see my family and friends. I am dying for them to see how much Alessia has grown, how much she has developed and how fun and amazing she is. I am excited to meet two new arrivals and watch Alessia play with her old friends and all the toys we left behind. So with a heavy heart, I start to say see you later to New York, while looking forward to my exciting future.
