new york new york
i am not sure what compels people to say the name of this city twice, but after my first visit there i think i can honestly say that i do understand the "i HEART NY" phenomenon...
i am not 100% sure what drew me to new york - apart from jen, because i have never really had a strong desire to travel to the US....but after four days i developed quite a liking for the big apple...my wonderful host led me on great walks through the city, the big buildings, the parks, the musicals, cruising the river, the bars showing the world cup cricket final, the small stores, raspberry ciders in the sun by the port, the goat-cheese omelettes and mushrooms, the americanness, the diversity....
obviously 4 days is too short to "do it all"...but i would recommend the Circle Line cruise (2 hours) around Manhattan, the Ellis Island Immigration museum, the Village and the little breakfast and lunch cafe near jen´s place in haarlem!!
it was wonderful to spend time with jen, ripun, tori and asha again....and to see how they are enjoying new york new york on a more permanent basis ;) cant wait till your trips to brazil and i can repay even some of your hospitality!

Hi Zoe,
"I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps /
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap"
Probably there's no need to ask you how you're doing. New York has this positive effect on people, for me at least. Great you could be part of this enormous city.
