Gabe & I stayed w/ two other of my best friends - Andy & Mabel - on Roosevelt Island. Gabe and I went to high school together, and only became friends shortly thereafter, while attending COS in Visalia, CA. Andy and I became friends while at COS shortly after Gabe transferred to Sac State. Mabel and I are first cousins, and I lived w/ her family while I was at Texas Tech. Andy went on to Cal Poly SLO and began courting Mabel when he came to visit me during her graduation from UTMB-Galveston.

It was an awesome vacation for me being surrounded by all of them. Andy "The MOLE" (Man of Leisure and Entertainment) was an awesome tour guide. He is making the best of these next few months as they are expecting their first child in May ;)
