A Day Late

The trip is going great. My flight home is about a week away and I’m already not looking forward to it. It’s been a busy week but an enjoyable one. We spent the weekend in New York city, which was awesome. Although I have to say driving the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn was…well, interesting, what more can I say? I actually only drove in and out, the rest of the time we road the subway and busses. We stayed with a friend in Brooklyn the first night. Although we ended up staying out till about 3am walking around Greenwich Village so we really didn’t get much sleep. We spent the next 2 days trying to see everything we could. Central Park, ground zero, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Battery Park, the UN, Times Square, etc. We saw Mama Mia! on broadway, great show! On Saturday night we went to little Italy. The streets were blocked off to traffic and the restaurants had tables out on the sidewalk and such. It was like a large outdoor market, in the middle of the night. We stopped at a little place and I had some of the best cheesecake of my life. New York was really fun but I really wish we would’ve had a couple more days. It’s just impossible to squeeze everything in to 2 days.

We’re back in DC now. We spent most of yesterday afternoon at the holocaust museum (about 4 hours). It was shocking and disturbing but it has probably been the best thing we’ve gone to so far, New York included. After I get back from my trip I’ll have to post some links to the sites we’ve visited. I’ll also have quite a few pictures.
