New York city, the city that never sleeps. Well for the first couple of days there thats pretty much all I did. Arrived omn Tuesday night with Damian who was about to fly on to Europe. We caught up with another Upper Huttian Peter Ung. Went to an Irish bar for food and drink and relax after a hectic few days on the road. After that went to see GI Joe at the movies. Was an ok movie, story line had more holes that swiss cheese, and I was falling asleep during it, but otherwise it was alright.
All day Wednesday I spend sleeping in and resting, hardly going out of the apartment except to hunt for food (which wasn't hard as McDs was right across the road). Thursday was pretty much the same, but walked a little further at dinner time. But then that night I got to go to the airport and pick up Lizz :) She will be with me for three weeks. Got the subway back at like 1am, and it didn't stop at the station we were expecting it to, so we got to take a long walk through NY in the early hours.
On Friday my friend Aileen and her friend came down to catch up with us and see some of NY. We went to for lunch and then got driven around more of Manhatten seeing the sights. Saturday Lizz and I walked around more of NY, we went through Times Square, up to the "top of the Rock" observation deck. Great views of NY. Went up through Central Park.
Sunday we walked through the lower end of Manhatten. Walked down through SoHo area, across to Ground Zero, the site where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre were located. There is now quite a bit of construction work going on, look forward to seeing what they come up with. Then through the financial district along Wall Street. After that we went on a sunset cruise (although it was already dark!) as we were given tickets by our Boston friends. Great views of Manhatten skyline at night. The cruise went out to the Statue of Liberty which is very impressive up close. Monday was time to pack up and leave New York. We had a fantastic time.
