Yeah, getting out of the NYC area really brought back much of the peace for me too. I am really looking forward to Philly this weekend too. But I'm really going to have to get away for longer than a weekend sometime. I just don't know when.

Hah, thats interesting. Did you grow up in a large city? I grew up in the country so I guess deep down its what I'm used to.

Hah, I love the contrasting pictures. They personify all the characteristics of each place. You know, if I'm back home for too long I do start to get restless but thats mostly because I don't have anything to do. You can sit around and do nothing for only so long no matter where you are.
