America’s most authentic city (in my experience!)

I’m about to revisit it in the new few days, hence this note.

I was there with my wife in December 2014. Maybe the memories are extra special because it was an extremely rare occasion when we were on our own, without our four kids. My mom was visiting from Russia then so we were able to arrange this sweet retreat from our home in Northern California.

“Romanic” doesn’t describe it. It was a little wild! We ended up having a very buzzy night with quite a lot of alcohol and … sex. And it wasn’t just because we’d escaped…
