Well I've definitly had New York on my mind this weekend! Not only was I in the city both Saturday and Sunday but I also finally made my mind up about whether or not I was staying for another 6 months, and have decided that yes I will! I am so excited about my decision and the prospect of spending another 6 months in this beautiful and amazing, everchanging city!
Saturday I went in by myself, to the International Centre for Photography, they were having an exhibition of a famous fashion photographer's work from the 40s through to the 2000s. It was amazing work, and although I was disappointed that the centre was only 2 floors, and there wasn't more, it was a lovely afternoon! I also wondered up to the Museum of Modern Art (or MoMA) but didn't go in as it was closing in an hour, and the entry is $20). I instead headed back to westchester, and spent the night (and the early hours of the morning) at the river with Sarah, Steph and Matt, giggling up a storm as usual.
The next morning, I took an early train into the city with Matt, and we met Frannie at grand central. We subwayed down to the World Trade Centre site because Matt wanted to get some official merchandise. There's a great big space in the middle of all these buildings, and even without knowing, you would have had a sense that something was missing from that space. They are slowly building the new, freedom tower, so we saw them working on that. They had a WTC tribute museum but we didn't have time to go in because we had to be back in midtown (WTC is lower manhattan) at central park for Matt's LCC meeting. So we subwayed up to Strawberry Fields, Central Park where we met up with Sarah and Steph and the LCC group. After lunch, photos and general lazying about we decided to head to 5th avenue (minus Frannie who had to work), as Sarah wanted to get a teddy bear from the famous toy store FAO Schwartz (where Tom Hanks plays the big keyboard in the movie Big). Since I had already been there, we split up and the girls explored FAO and Matt and I headed down 5th to Best Buy (pretty much like JBHIFI even has a similar logo lol) to get me a camera! We met back up for some naughty spending at clothing store H&M before heading back to westchester. We ate at Sarah's for the second night running (yummy and easy way to save, dinner at host homes!) and met up again with Frannie to see the latest installment of Harry Potter. I'm not a fan but it was pretty good. Home sweet home at about 130, with my head hitting the pillow at about 3am after staying up for a late night online chat!!
