Seen New York
I've been and seen New York - the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Union Square, Central Park and all the rest. We even found our way to upper Brooklyn and explored the depths of Canal St. We saw a few Broadway productions, ate hot dogs on the road, and slept when we couldn't keep our eyes open any longer. It was a jam-packed 4 days.

New York, New York... I hope to see you again. We shared some great times and I want to return, and soon. Of the cities I've seen New York has definitely been one of my favourites. It's so big, so vital, so diverse.

My biggest regret is that I didn't buy an "I luv NY" t-shirt. In fact, this trip I haven't really bought any souvenirs. I just look around and decide that they're either too pricey, too gaudy, too tacky, or too stereotypical. Or perhaps it's just cos I'm too tight?


And then...
Today we popped out and saw Woodstock, of 1969 fame.

Tonight we're imposing on the Jacob's (Sean's relatives) again, overnighting in Milton (1.5 hours north of the city). Alex, Vince and Lilly have been the best hosts - generous and open. So we're enjoying another quieter night away from traffic noise and dorm-snorers. Thanks Alex, Vince and Lilly!

Tomorrow we're heading to Boston, and hopefully visiting one of Sean's friends from Brisbane college days. A few days there, then back over the border to Canada and Montreal. One week of adventures left, then back into the real world.
