To Stay Or Go? That Is The Question...

Well, as we sit here today, it has been 4 months since we arrived in NYC. Summer is in full swing every chance we have to get out and see all this magnificent city has to offer, we do it. We have 2 months left before Laura's current contract is up and we have a lot of contemplating to do. We really love it here and are now starting to entertain the idea of a permanent stay. Laura is seeing offers in here new field of research and has begun submitting resumes. The task we face is if one of those jobs actually offers her a job, do we decide to become New Yorkers for good? The up-side is that we would have the opportunity to live in maybe the most vibrant and exciting city in America. On the other hand, we would be committing to living in maybe the most expensive city in America. There are certainly other concerns that arise concerning NYC, but I think money is the biggest one. In about a month, we will need to start planning our next destination if we decide to move on. The next month should be very interesting. In the meantime, here are some of my latest images that continue to dazzle my eyes and make me never want to leave this place!!

Austin Pennybacker Bridge

The Pennybacker Bridge in Austin, Texas bridges Lake Austin to connect north and south Loop 360 highway, also known as "Capital of Texas Highway". The road is widely considered one of the most scenic urban drives in central Texas, in large part due to the arched weathering steel bridge and rolling hills that flank the road. More commonly known as the "360 Bridge" it is named for Percy Pennybacker, who designed bridges for the Texas Highway Department and was a pioneer in the technology of welded structures.

Aaaah...New York City. Where have you been all my life? It wasn't until April 2009 that I had the chance to truly discover the magic that is NYC. I had been once before (as a child) but had never experienced the city in all it's glory. I spent four days just exploring and could not but help to fall in love with this melting pot of diversity that makes everywhere else just seem ordinary. Laura and I have vowed that before we die we will call New York home...even if only for a few short (warm) months.
