Walking Down Fifth Avenue

Last Weekend, Zack and I went to New York City. We took a five hour bus ride on Friday evening and stayed with Zack's friend Justin at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in Manhatten. On Sunday evening we returned to Ithaca.


Zack and I in Central Park.

Zack wants to do Theatre Management so we got rush tickets (sold on the same day as the performance, so it's cheaper) to see both 'Chicago' and 'In My Life', a new show unrelated to the Beatles song. A splendid time was guaranteed for all.
On Saturday we saw my cousin Cybil, who is coming up to Ithaca to visit next weekend, and my uncle Alex and aunt Shaila. It was an awesome weekend.

I believe God said this on the lesser known 15th day...


Just chillin' on the bench.






Someone was filming something in a small park we went past.






Strawberry Fields, the memorial for John Lennon in Central Park.


Obscure and expensive Beatles collectables in a music shop display case.


Times Square... from the McDonalds where we had lunch on Saturday.




Cool sign.





I also managed to get loads of Conan O'Brien merchandise including a mousemat, magnets for my bedroom door, two T-shirts, and even a Conan thermos (perfect for US Politics at 10).

It was great to get back to Ithaca though. The School of Visual Arts is nice, but it really wasn't my style. Being there, and seeing how things work for people at another university made me realize how perfect Ithaca is for me. I missed the people too, Wendy, Julie, Brian, Daniel, Betsy, and even Charles.

Crazy American fact #5: New York is the largest city in the USA, with a population of 8,008,278. The next largest is Los Angeles, with only 3,694,820. Yeah, I know that's still huge, but it's a lot less than New York.
