Saturday was a lovely morning, as I pumped it up at Zumba
kickstarting my weekend to meeting a fellow friend and scot at Logan Airport
Saturday Afternoon! Kellie, my old flat mate in Glasgow, class mate and really
good friend took the flight over the Atlantic to visit us in our Boston Bubble
for a week. We spent the Saturday evening catching up on our almost year apart
since April 2012 and enjoyed lots of stories and laughs.
Sunday (early) morning arrived and we headed via the bus to
New York City!! We turned on our tourist mode, as always whilst traveling, and
enjoyed lots of the monumental sights that New York has to offer.
From 5th Ave, Times Square, Central Park,
‘climbing’ the Empire State Building like King Kong and buying nuts from a
street vendor. Sunday we trooped and trekked until we ended up in the
CHICAGOOOO theatre enjoying a broadway show, getting razzled and dazzled. After
our rushed broadways show, we went to a favourite of mine (I’ve only been once
before but its great) Ellens Stardust Diner, here the waiting staff sing to you
whilst you eat- as they all inspire to work on Broadway one day. This was the
place where I was sang to last year for my 20th Birthday- how time
really does fly!!
My subway experience to our International Hostel at night
was not a horrific one, our sub had actually seemed to be updated and I had
expected to see garbage and graffiti everywhere, boy had google set me up
wrongly.
Eating croissants and bagels for breakfast we all had an ok
night sleep in the hostel, the hostel itself was great though one lady who
shared our 12 bunked dorm room, well, she wasn’t the friendliest of
characters.. Shall we say.
Onwards to MONDAY in the big APPLE! On Monday we headed
south Manhattan to board the free foot bridge to Long Island. Passing the
Liberty statue, you really get to experience the size of it, to be honest I
maybe thought it was going to be HUGE! From all of the movies, I guess. A sight
to see none the less, which we did!- CHECK! Heading further south to Brookline
Bridge, walking down Wall Street and snapping shots of the Manhattan Bridge.
Picnic’ing in a NYC park we rested our tootsies before walking all the way back
up North Manhattan through the Soho and garment districts. Slowly ending the
two day adventure at ironically a Mcdonalds (my 2nd one since being
in America in 9 months) and back to Boston we bussed.
