New York (2 - 10 August 2025)
Exactly ten years and one month ago, Kristina and I left New York City after calling it home for three years to road trip the US and Canada before eventually relocating to Texas. Since then, we've built a home and white picket fence (so to speak) in Austin, popped out a couple of kids, and are just living the life. To celebrate our decade of leaving, we figured it was a good time to visit, take the kiddos to blow their minds, and see what's changed. From the airport (JFK) we took the Air Train to the nearest subway station to commute into the city, give the girls a taste of that experience, and maybe spot some crazies. Well it didn't take long. Straight away a nice-seeming black lady offered up her seat and started making conversation with the girls. Siena, being playful, made a sort of "Baaa" noise at her (like a sheep) but I guess what she heard was "Blaaack", and out came the crazy! This chick started ranting "Yeah, I'm black! That's right! You're white, I'm black!" and so on, and Kristina got told she's raising a racist haha! Meanwhile, I was elsewhere in the crowded subway car with all the luggage, and I could hear this whacko carrying on but I didn't really know what the deal was, which was probably a good thing else I'd have gotten involved and wound her up even more. Welcome to New York, kids!
