Fighting New York temptations

The New York reception was cold. We walked out from the JFK Airport terminal building following behind our shuttle driver named Gerald taking us to the car. The chilly New York morning weather hit our warm jetlagged faces and Water Setlabosha, my travel companion, exclaimed, “Yeses!” That is when we all quickened up the pace to the car.

Surprisingly, it was still cold even though the callery pear and cherry trees have already started to blossom marking the arrival of spring. It still felt like the middle of June in Botswana.
