Had a long but fantastic day with my friend K - the first fangirl whom I befriended in person after meeting online TEN YEARS AGO (holy shit!) - wherein we treated ourselves to an architecture tour cruise around the island of Manhattan, a.k.a. three hours on an adorable 1920s boat with champagne, hors d'oeuvres, fantastic narration by the guide, and absolutely perfect weather to be on the water. It was GLORIOUS and indulgent in that very specific New-Yorkers-doing-touristy-stuff-for-themselves guilty pleasure way. ;)
The mini-cruise also fixed a serious problem I had with my last three vacations, all of which contained the opportunity for a boat ride yet none had realized it. Such travesty! So there: boat quota for the year fulfilled, and I am crazy happy about this. :D
Here's a pretty picture before I pass out.
