The day got progressively better as it got later. Ian's girlfriend was at a bbq in the bronx if we wanted to go. We did. I have never been to a bbq in the bronx before, this is what the day is all about. Turns out Ian's girlfriend was at a friends, friends bbq and then us six complete strangers walked in. It was awesome. They were awesome. The neighborhood was hilly like san francisco and we hung out on their enormous deck drinking beers and eating plantain chips and burgers. It was our first rest yet.
When we left we were at 225th street and i was happy. It was a nice walk home to brooklyn.

exert from a post-24 hour walk reflection in a letter to karl. This is the end of the day.
