oh my God. this really is the greatest city in the world. it smells like ass and old cigarettes mixed up with rotting fish heads. you hear a different language from every clump of people you pass by. you almost get hit by flying taxis. you see all the stereotypical new york attitude and kitsch, and it is magnificent.
i think ryan and i walked about 8000 miles yesterday. we saw all of lower, upper, and mid-town manhattan. and we slept in the tiniest one room apartment i have seen in my whole life. seriously. we saw almost every famous structure you can think of actually in person yesterday, and the one's we missed, we saw from the top of the empire state building this morning. as an aside, an 86 floor elevator ride only took about 3 minutes. my ears popped!
ok, our time is almost up at the cyber cafe on 33rd street. we're off to the donald's building to meet ryan's friend, who's coming with us to the lady liberty. i'll try and update from boston or maine soon.
life is good.
