New York is my kinda town!

by jessicadf - last update: May 23, 2003

That just sounds so unoriginal, it's true...

George Washington Bridge from Riverside Park
...but my gosh, what a great time I had! A few people have asked me if I could imagine living in New York City, and I really don't know.

I went to New York to visit with a friend from High School who now lives there, in Washington Heights. It had been nearly a decade since we'd last seen each other, but we'd been very close since we met.
Old friends, head to head

Old friends reunite

When I got there, we hugged and it was like a warm bath. If you don't know the feeling of which I write, I hope that you do some day.

Go, Go, Go!

New York is FULL of energy. I got there at 6:30am on Thursday and left at 2pm on Sunday. Not a day went by that I went to bed earlier than 3am, and woke up later than 9:30am. We'd generally be out the door for the day's activities by 11am. Even though we were so completely active, I wasn't as tired as one would hope, and returned home completely energized.
Should I take a nap now? Nahhhh.

 YES..THE WINTER GARDEN ATRIUM WAS DESTROYED AND REBUILT AFTER THE COLLAPSE OF THE TWIN TOWERS..DID YOU VISIT THE AMERICAN EXPRESS MEMORIAL IN THE LOBBY OF AMEX BLDG? IT WAS JUST UP AND OVER THE OTHER SIDE..
