This completely throws everyone when I tell them, but this is my first ever visit to the great state of New York (and therefore more progress on goal 14. Visit 5 of my unvisited lower 48 states). My route to Maine took me from Ann Arbor to Toronto to Niagra Falls and now to Binghamton, NY. I had a lovely drive through the countryside between Buffalo and here winding through little roads and enjoying all the windmills.

I'm staying with a friend of my dad's; they went to grad school together in San Francisco to earn their doctorates. He and his family live in a lovely old house with the cutest cats ever.

Last night, we checked out "First Friday," which is open art galleries and fancy stuff like that. Also lots of fun!
