Day 1 in NYC


We made it to NYC today. Our first job, after we made it to the hotel and checked in, was to get to Lady Liberty. The subways are not Tokyo subways. They aren't even Parisian subways. They're difficult to locate, and if you're on the wrong side, you have to exit and re-enter on the opposite side - there's no going over the tracks. Lame.

Anyhow, Lady Liberty is always amazing. Today was no exception.


It rained on and off, but we managed. And it made it cooler to walk around, which was nice. 





We got to the Freedom Tower and the 9/11 memorial, which was nice. St. Paul's Church was a nice memorial to the event, too. It was a new thing for all of us, so it was nice to experience. Although I was a little weirded out by the families taking smiling pictures by the memorial pools - it didn't seem very appropriate to me.


We only came across one subway performing group, and didn't stay to watch, because it was loud and hot and annoying.


Overall, a super fun day that ended with loads of laughs and delicious desserts in Little Italy.
