345 86th Street Apt. 520

If this looks like Aaron is riding a bike in our apartment building hallway, he is. We borrowed the bikes of Brian & Lindsay Morris while they were away in Italy on an internship a.k.a. vacation. Unfortunately we couldn't go very far on these cycles since the red bike was sans pedals and the brown bike (what Aaron is modeling) was sans brakes. Nonetheless we made the best of it and biked around our neighborhood and along the bay, with occasional stops to walk both bikes up and/or downhill. Summer bike rides are the best!

Also what is the best, is sneaking up on your apartment rooftop to see what's happening. Turns out there's just a bunch of strewn garbage and random steel parts having a party, plus a really good view of our neighborhood. Check it.

view to the south, looking at the Verrazano Bridge (a glorious sight to behold)

I will miss you Apartment 520! However I will not miss the gas smell your kitchen stove constantly emits that makes me high and want to pass out every time I walk in the door.
