Hard to believe that it’s only been a few days since I left New York City.  I had a great time.  It was great to see a taping of The Nightly Show and, moreover, it was REALLY awesome to see U2 twice in concert.

Seeing Paul Simon and Bruce Springsteen perform with the band was great in itself, but what was really special was that I ran into two friends who I hadn’t seen in ten years. They were standing in the same row I was in and after the show they approached me. Really unbelievable how small the world really is and how people can meet up after losing contact with one another.  We spent some time after the concert and exchanged contact info and promised that we won’t wait another ten years to meet again.

It was also pretty cool that Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton were in the audience.  The two last concerts at Madison Square Garden felt like truly exceptional events and I’ll never forget it and feel fortunate to have been a part of it.

Also, I got to do all the fun stuff in New York that I didn’t get to do six years ago as a medical student.  I spent an entire day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and visited the Empire State Building and got to walk on the Brooklyn Bridge.  I also spent a day with a cousin in the city, so that was really cool, too.

With that said, I am happy to be back here in Colorado amongst the mountains.  I love New York, but I don’t think I’m tough enough to live there on a daily basis.  I am looking forward to my next visit, though.

And speaking of traveling, with all of these recent trips to Germany and New York, I wonder where (and when) I am going to make my next visit.  Hopefully, pretty soon.
