Today’s weather was a little cooler than the humid New York summers but it was the perfect temperature for taking a walk outside and enjoying the sun. I got to do this today with my good friend Marisa! We even ran into Leo on a movie set. Pictures below of the Marimekko umbrellas at Madison Square Park and my purple pants and French macaroon dessert.

Never forget. Eleven years later and I find myself living in NYC and walking home to this in the sky. America suffered a great loss of heroes, families, and friends but they will always be in our hearts.
Summer was a round robin of travel: Manhattan for July, back to Maui mid-August, then back to Manhattan at the end of August for the start of my second, and final year of grad school. A lot happened in the past month, but it is not the best excuse for not posting any updates. Below you’ll find a quick recap of my life highlights. I had a good month, and look forward to a great fall. I got to see lots of friends and family and home, and returned to the city ready for school (I think).
Now that it’s started again there are more things to keep track of like, matsumoto thesis, an ongoing thought process of my year-long project at Parsons. Where it will go? Not sure yet, but stay tuned because the best is yet to come.
To make up for the last month or more of lost matsumoto posts, here are 21 photos that catalogue most of my round robin journey. Have you guess the theme yet? Circle up.
