Solo exploring in the city because all my plans fell through. But got to walk along the Highline in the beautiful weather today and then came upon hipsters dressed in weird clothing playing in the fountain at Washington Square Park. They were doing were dressed funny and doing weird dance moves and movements. Only in NYC will you see this.

Went to Long Island to see their annual Fourth of July fireworks. It was in this big open field in a park and was a decent show. A lot of people were there and it was like a picnic at night.

Last minute plans to go watch the Macy's fireworks from the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade. The view is amazing from there and always catches me off guard every time I go. It's magical.

Imagine Dragons was awesome!! They were so good live even from the second to last row in the Verizon Center. It was such a great night: started with pregaming in Clarendon and then in Chinatown, and then making friends with two blonde girls at the concert and we all hung out together. Can't wait until Taylor Swift next week! :O

Came home and saw this chalk wall set up on the lawn outside my apartment. It's a nice public thing to have, but some people just troll the wall while others put genuine responses.

Taylor Swift!!! She was so amazing live even though we weren't that close. It's ridiculous how many fans she has, myself included, and everyone is just so crazy. She played all her recent hits and then Love Story and You Belong With Me. Those are the two classics that I was hoping she'd play in the beginning! Jason Derulo also made a guest appearance and they sang one song together, but I'm not a huge fan of him, just mainly Taylor :)

Peter and Liangsha's wedding! Congrats to the happily married couple! The wedding was amazing with lots of fun times with awesome people. These photobooth pictures were from early on in the night, imagine what they would've been like had we taken them towards the end of the night...

Not an ideal day to go to Eastern Market when it's 95 degrees out and feels like over 100. Nevertheless, it was still nice walking around there, looking at the vendors and absorbing artsyness. The guy who was selling the American flag wooden art was like 'Hey brother, if you're taking a photo can you take the whole view so at least it looks good?' And he was like 'You sure it looks good?' after I got a photo.

I guess this would count as my first time brunching. But the pink grapefruit and mango mimosas were super delicious!

Wasn't in a good mood today and needed some fresh air and speed. So I biked to the Lincoln and sat on the ledge for a while just people watching and clearing my mind. I love just wandering around the memorials, especially the Lincoln, and just do nothing. Then biked back along the Potomac by Georgetown Waterfront. Felt much better after the 10-mile bike ride.
