NYC

I was born in NY, a fact I have made a big deal out of over my life. Though I was born here, I've never really been to NYC. What an amazing place. Of all the cities I've been to NYC by far exceeded my expectations as far as size. It is so dense and yet so large. Other cities have pockets of density, or a small dense center, but NYC is miles of denseness. The NYC subway is by far the worst I've seen, but it was also fun to finally be on it. Its certainly not beyond comprehension. Greg and I met a friend of his at some bar in the east village. We then walked some distance to near where Gary lives and ate Felafel at 2am. We then took the A train back to 42st and walked around times square for a little. We finally made it back uptown by 3am and crashed out.

Last night we had dinner with my Aunt, Uncle and cousin. They are great people. We had an enjoyable discussion over delicious meatballs and spaghetti. Today we'll check out more of the city by day. I'm hoping to see the Statue of Liberty as I have never seen it. Gotta see the obligatory sights before its too late.

It is not entirely accurate when you say you have never seen the Statue of Liberty. You were just too young to remember...

Hello, am a transplanted reader cause I've been following the trip since Greg posted a link to your blog. Your updates are much more detailed :)

Anyway, I just find it interesting that you're hitting up the same place I was being touristy in barely a week ago.

Enjoy
