I’ve been so restless lately and wanting to travel, but as I’m also broke, I’ve been going on little mini adventures around town. Last week I went to a restaurant in Chinatown and was seated at a table with an old woman and her mother, neither of who appeared to speak English. So we smiled and nodded and pointed at each other and it was great fun. I only live a few blocks from Chinatown, so I’m planning on doing a lot more of this, as well as seeking out the hidden authentic Mexican restaurants about town.
