Early Show

Well New York is pretty damn nice. Ive been exploring for two days now and its pretty good. Yesterday started with lots of traffic delays. Getting around by car or bus in NYC is almost impossible at the moment. The UN is in session so all the delegates are staying in town and all of the streets are blocked off. Damn impossible to move around in a bus, but thats what we had yesterday.

Ended up replacing the camera I broke with a new Canon SD1000 (unsure if this is a model back home but who cares it was $215). Went to the Statue of Liberty yesterday and it was great. So much smaller than I thought but still cool none the less. Went to the World Trade Centre Site (can’t call it Ground Zero because its being rebuilt). i was a bit wierd as it is now pretty much looks like another construction site. Last night had some traditional New York Brick Oven Pizza and it was awesome and also a Grays Papaya hot dog. All three foods for New York are complete: Bagel, Hot Dog, Pizza.

Today went up the Empire State Building, walked 5th Avenue and then explored the lower end of Manhattan and China Town. Did all my dodgy I heart NY shirt shopping on canal and got 7 for $10. Better than most places were offering. Also picked up some H2 Cologne. Hopefully it smells ok. Also early this morning we all headed towards Central Park South to the CBS studios for the taping of the Early Show. I got on TV for a good minute or so as I was right behind the people being interviewed holding a contiki banner. Tonight we are off to Broadway. Sadly Spamalot sold out just as I walked up to the window. Couldn’t get any of the shows I really wanted to see, so like my sister told me to I’m seeing whatever was available and that was Legally Blonde.

Went searching for my NFL jersey but NO ONE had anything so it looks like I am buying it off the net. Ordered a #54 patriots authentic for a total of $350 USD. O wells!.

Tommorrow will be heading around Central Park, hopefully the weather holds out so that the Helicopter Flight and the Beast go ahead. Talk soon.
