Home from NYC!

[Lindsey]

Judy, when we first got there, I thought it would be such a cool place to live! Things to do and see every day, and everything is always so busy! But by the end of the trip, I was ready to leave. I'm a small town girl and it really made me realize what home is to me. I always wanted to live in a big city but after being in NYC for a week I was so happy to get back. I couldn't deal with the skyscrapers and crowds every day. I think I'd go crazy! And I also really really missed Canadian food. There were just a lot of little differences that I don't think I would like long-term, but it definitely was a great place to visit! I'd love to go back to see all the things we didn't have time for this time!
The arch was by NYU I think... at least there were some buildings that said NYU on them and then there was the arch lol. I can't even remember what area we were in, we just got off the bus and started walking!
We went to Brooklyn on the Brooklyn Loop of our tour I really wanted to go over the Brooklyn Bridge but apparently double-decker buses aren't allowed on it so we took the Manhattan Bridge. I did miss a lot of Brooklyn because I stayed in the bus instead of going on top... it was cold after the water taxi ride!
The parade was SO crowded! 4 million people there... we went early and got pretty close, but there were crowds of people pushing from behind and trying to get by and it was just really uncomfortable!
