Hi Bestie!!

I am back from a seven-slash-eight-day trip (if you watch the sunrise at your gate at LAX and think about how it was on your life list when you were 23 because of a brief scene in a Tom Ford movie, does it count as a day?) from Los Angeles but am dedicated to telling you about New York City and its wildlife. We can talk about California’s “ugly trees" (they’re yucca) another time. (They’re not ugly and the fruit tastes like banana.)
