Day 1020

A homemade shrine

featuring Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mexico's most popular religious icon. The guy who built it told me he started working on it nine years ago but that it was much smaller at first (as you can see in this 2007 Street View image). He also invited me to his annual party here in December. He said there would be a mariachi band and that everyone would be welcome, Mexican or not.

I'm walking every street in New York City.

This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
