Road Trippin'

  Yesterday (Thursday) was one of the most genuine and greatest days I've had in a while. I got a text Wednesday night at like midnight from one of my closest friends in the whole entire world, PJ, asking if I wanted to go to Montauk. OF COURSE I couldn't turn down the offer. To anyone who hasn't visited Montauk, there is no better way for me to put this than that you need to go as soon as you possibly can. I spent a good amount of my childhood there at my uncle's little beach house across from the Block Island Sound. Honestly, some of the happiest memories I have happened in Montauk. Who knew such a small town could make you feel so big (theoretically). I tell you, when you're standing at the tip of the island looking over the ocean, there's no other feeling that can match up to it. Being an exceptionally significant part of the island for me personally, I knew I had to go with PJ.
   PJ was actually the very first friend I made in high school. Him and I seemed so alike that I knew I had to get to know him, and now he's one of the biggest influences in my life. Thinking about him leaving LI for college in Rhode Island makes me feel all sorts of emotions. As much as i'll miss him, I know that he deserves to go away and create the future that I know he'll do incredible in. There's nothing better than being surrounded by such a down to earth and generous person like him.
   Downtown MTK has some of the greatest food on this whole entire island. Zum Schneider is a German restaurant out there and I think it's definitely my favorite place to eat when i'm out east. Coming from someone who actually visited Germany, the food is so true to German culture and even some of the waiters and waitresses there have German accents. Not to mention the restaurant itself is adorable. I understand foreign food can seem kinda freaky sometimes but I seriously recommend this place to everyone!! Everything in MTK from camp hero to the lighthouse to all of the overlooks are unrealistically breathtaking. You feel like you're in a whole different world. I probably should've taken more photos, but I was so busy taking everything in with my eyes that I kinda forgot. Some things are just better to experience for yourself. Driving through the roads and going on top of the hills to see a view of the Atlantic Ocean makes me feel like i'm living my dream. Montauk is definitely one of those places where I feel like i'm in my natural habitat or something like that. Before yesterday I hadn't been there since May, and why I don't go more often I have no clue. It's a road trip that's 100% worth it every time! You can't go there and not feel alive, it's just not possible. Days like this make me realize how awesome life is, and especially how fortunate I am to have been born in one of the most soul capturing places in the world. I think i'm set on my decision to never move from LI. Get out to Montauk if you haven't already, and even if you have, go again!!!
