The bus ride back up to NYC wasn't too bad. I don't think I really slept at all, but I know there were a couple of times when I opened my eyes and realized that we were anywhere from 30-60 miles from the last place I remember. I had though the bus was supposed to stop in DC for a pick-up, but instead it made a stop just past Fredericksburg, then Baltimore, and I think some totally random place in between. -To pick up more "cousins".

We would have been on time - 7:00-ish - had it not been for the construction on the Delaware Memorial Bridge and a small accident scene before the Holland Tunnel. However, I was on the subway back uptown by 8:00, so, still, not too bad.
*I had forgotten how different and stunning the views are when you enter Manhattan from the Holland Tunnel. Of course, it's a much different skyline without the Twin Towers there, but, even so, looking at the morning sun hit the windows and walls of the various buildings in Lower Manhattan, well... -It's sort of making me want to head back down there some morning soon, and take some pictures.
