NYC- Saturday

NYC- Saturday

The ferry left around sunset, and it was dark when we headed back, and it was really lovely. After we got back, we navigated our way back up to 85th and York (kind of a long trip with the two express subways out of commission), I got decked out and met up with Jill, Heather, and Steve (Heathers roommate) in Tribeca (all the way back down the other way, I took a cab).

NYC- Saturday

If you can believe this Kristen lived in New York and had never been to Battery Park. Now, there are definitely places in Colorado I have never been, but Colorado is like 67.4 times the size of Manhattan (CO: 104,185 square miles, Manhattan: 22.96 square miles), and none of those places is nearly as well known ass Battery Park. So our just barely missing the ferry turned out to be a stroke of good luck, as we had a spare hour to explore the neighborhood. And take lots of self portraits.

NYC- Friday

I LOVE these two pictures of Jill and Me walking around on Friday.

We are such hams!

NYC- Friday

Oh, I am almost too embarrassed to post these pictures, but... The Meatheads! Let me preface by saying we were drunkedy-drunk-drunk. And really only flirting. Mostly. I am so embarrassed but in the spirit of full disclosure I have to admit that they were making their pecs dance. Oh the shame. I especially like dudes tender caress of Kristen's cheek in that close up down there.

NYC- Thursday Night

OK, first things first, I am taking the LSAT this afternoon, so at about 1 pm everybody think positive thoughts for me.... About the trip, after a loooong day of traveling on Thursday I finally made it to NYC about 6:30 and headed over to where Heather works about 7 to meet my girl. Took a quick shower (no need to spend forever getting ready there, the humidity does wonders for my hair, just wash and go), grabbed a slice and headed out to some bar (I can't remember the name, I think all of the bars we went to had numbers for names). The bar was a way too scene-y for my tastes, but the view was amazing. Jill showed up about eleven, and we ran around town until the wee hours dancing and having cocktails and hanging out.

Highlights Part One

My mom took this picture of me at the train depot at BWI before I headed North to NYC. I was starving when I got in to town, so Kleem and I headed out to get a quick slice. On Friday Jill, Heather and I had a big old lunch at Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station. Friday night we got all dolled up and headed out on the town with Heather's friend Kristen. I loved this girl! A good time was had by all, apparently. On Saturday while Jill and Heather napped, Kristen and I went out and about in New York. We got on the subway to head downtown to check out some sights. Unfortunately the two major subway lines were closed so what should have been a relatively short jaunt on an express train turned into a multiple transfer hour-plus journey to Brooklyn and back. We finally got off the train and had missed the ferry by one minute! We took advantage of our missed connection to walk around battery park until the next ferry left an hour later.

Highlights Part Two

So all that gallivanting was worth it, after out stroll in Battery Park, we hopped on the Staten Island Ferry to catch a sunset tour or the sights, we saw the Statue of Liberty (which was better than this crappy picture would lead you to believe). The return trip was at night, and the view of the city was remarkable all lit up! It was soooo good to hang with my girl Heather, we had great weather, and great times! I took this picture of my legs in the cab, and I just wanted to share it with you guys. Finally, my souvenir from my trip, these cute kicks I got for a steal!

New York

So far the vacay has been good, but I'm spending too much money. Easy to do here, with all the shopping and the food and the drinking. Went to Oyster Bar for lunch today, it was awesome, but other than that I have yet to eat anything really tasty.
