Da big Apple

Some sporadic photos from my weekend trip here... I'm afraid I was too busy having a great time and getting lost on the subway to even think about taking many photos...
Times Square was as overwhealming as ever. They've cut off traffic and installed lawn furniture, it looks like they intend to make this permanent and with all of the foot traffic it seems like a good idea...
I took this one because the friend I was there with lives on a kibbutz in Israel... the juxtaposition was funny to me...
We went to the Museum of Natural Science (I may do a quick additional post about the museums I went to)...

Central Park; Wow it was humid and sticky... but pretty.
"Emergency brake; Pray"


Great weekend... I love New York and I love New Yorkers. It was hot and humid and the weather really takes it all out of me pretty quickly but somehow the pace and the attitude of the place make up for it.
On Sunday it rained and it was delightful warm rain that helped pull a lot of the humidity down. People on the street were selling umbrellas but I just chose to get wet. At a certain point the wetness of rain sure beats the wetness of sweat. I don't know that I'll be posting a lot more from this trip but I thought I'd share the nutshell version... probably posts about the Met and the Natural Science museum to follow. Until then... caio!
