Falling in love...with New York

This past weekend I spent both days in the city with Megan (one of the Aussie girls that flew over with me, who is now living in Boston). Saturday we did some touristy stuff for her benefit - 5th avenue, central park and times square (which I've all done before). Central Park is always amazing, so I could go there a million times and I don't think I'd get sick of it. Even though its the beginning of Spring, not many things have blossomed yet but it is still lovely. Then on Sunday, we took a tour bus of downtown New York, which was utterly amazing. We drove through all the neighbourhoods that I can't wait to walk around - Greenwich Village, Soho, Lower East Side and more. It was good because it helped navigate me around the city. Our tour guide was pretty funny, and I learnt lots of interesting facts about the city. I would pay to go back on it again haha! Then after that Megan went home, and I met up with one of the girls from my area, Lou, in Chinatown. I had general tso's chicken for lunch and it was okay, i've had better, but it was really disturbing yet fascinating to see all the dead animals hanging in the window! After that Lou and I went shopping looking at all the jewellery, perfume and bags. I picked myself up some Chanel earrings and a beautiful Chanel bag! I'm loving it!
Although I'm pretty much over the touristy stuff by now (gotta do it once more when my friend Laura comes in to town in a few weeks, but she's fun so should be fun!) I am just so in love with this city! It has so much to offer and you can be doing a different thing every hour, utterly amazing!

So I have a few weekends booked up - Boston tomorrow, Silver bay aupair course the following weekend, then Laura's coming in and first weekend of May I'm going to stay with AJ in Washington D.C, horray! So once I get back into the city, it should be well and beautifuly Spring - which means excellent walking weather to do some walking tours around the city - I can't wait!

Miss everyone lots, hope all is well
