7/12/05 New York...Mind Blowng

We took a very interesting bus tour of NYC. We took a bus in from our hotel and then had to find our way back out to our hotel afterward. Let’s just say I found the city very overwhelming! Probably my favorite thing was the Staten Island Ferry. It was a great ride, and we had a very good view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. I realized how much I miss home and the ocean. I would have liked to gone to both of these islands, but time simply wouldn’t permit. After the tour we walked to the Empire State Building. The view is fantastic! We could have spent all night up there, and the boys did indeed manage to ditch us by walking around the circle top faster than we did. HAHA We were very late getting back to our hotel because we spend so much time enjoying the view.

The streets of NY are absolutely overwhelming. Mind Blowing is an understatement. They are crowded, dirty, hot, smelly and loud. Very loud. Times Square has almost as many lights as Las Vegas. I’m glad I went, but I think I don’t want to go back to New York, it was very stressful to just walk down the street.
