it was cold, really cold.. of course I was not prepared at all… It was packed.. traffic of people in the sidewalks close to Radio City Hall… a woman comment’s: “I live here for 11 years and have never seen it like that”. When we arrived around 2 pm on Saturday and I left the bus, I smelt it.. the smell I remembered from NY when I visited it with my parents in 1993. Yes, I am talking about 18 years ago. But the smell was just like yesterday. It was a good time; my first time seeing snow falling from the sky, the twin towers were there, and I was a naive young girl thinking life can be perfect…

I am not saying life is not good, but is far from perfect.. more…

It is good to live close to NYC…close enough to spend the weekend. We went by BoltBus,  pretty good service, 2 hours from door to door (and here door is downtown Philly, we need to get a train to Philly first). Everything pretty easy.

When we arrived we decided to put our luggage at a storage and then do some tourism before going to my friend’s home. We went to Empire State Building, and went up to see the whole Manhattan view, we walked to West Village, met Sarah and walked more until Soho. Really nice areas at South part of NYC. I really want to explore more in a less hot day. Good we were melting, literally! more…
