too tired to speak

I will have more to say soon.
i promise.
right now i am just too tired to speak.
my plan was to finish work and race home to sort through emails and photos and kick the shit out of my bedroom. instead... i sat at the bar for an hour and chatted with Owen about bicycles. I am learning... slowly. i am just... too tired for words. and yet... i'm writing. a lot.

this is the reason i hate vacations... you get home and you're exhausted and just want to sleep but the world has gone on without you and now you have to play catchup while really just wanting to be in bed. and boy! do i want to be in bed. next week! next week i will have a day to myself.
i hope.

here's part of the reason i'm so tired. if you have me on instagram or facebook i do apologize for the repeats.
my babe of a boyfriend and i went to manhattan for the bouldering championships. i know next to nothing about rock climbing, but joel is quite the climber and it just happened to be organized by one of my very oldest and dearest friends. we got ourselves a b & b close to the park and hung out with my beautiful new yorkers for the weekend. It was quite the adventure. We got lost in Brooklyn in a bit of a scary neighbourhood, walked until our feet fell off, ate a delicious home cooked meal in Queens, got kicked out of a dive bar in Manhattan (and not for the reasons you'd imagine), napped in central park, watched the most historic pride parade in New York history (gay marriage was legalized two days before), and of course watched the championships. It was pretty impressive... even for this newbie who's only climbed once in her life.

1. Bouldering Championships in central park
2. freedom tower
3. New York architecture owns my heart
4. i love repetitious lines and textures
5. walking across Brooklyn bridge. my tattoo is very accurate.
6. Brooklyn bridge
7. Brooklyn tourism (isn't he handsome?)
8. Sunday brunch at Peels New York. I highly recommend it.
9. Pete & Jason enjoying some artisan ice cream
10. it's hard not to stare up while walking down the streets of New York. I feel so small in such an exciting childlike way.
