After not much sleep, I checked out of my one-night room and had a hearty lunch buffet. I’m resolved to have two main meals of the day while here rather than three. My spare tire needs to go.
Spent some time walking the streets near my hotel.
This is a huge city, so far have only seen a little bit of it. There appear to be no restrictions on jaywalking and since streetlights seem to be few and far between, taking your chances seems to be the way to do it. When in Rome...
