NYC - day one

I can't upload pics yet, but hopefully they'll be coming soon.

Memories : Passing Scranton Pennsylvania - it's definitely the real Scranton that's used in the Office theme song.

Watching the Greyhound driver scream and swear at traffic trying to get into the Lincoln tunnel from the turnpike.

Experiencing New Yorkers that are TOO nice, and as a result discovering why it takes so long for the subway to leave the station in New York.

Experiencing the New York subway! What an incredible system! The TTC is childsplay compared to this labyrinth. And the buskers! So bizarre!

Wandering by chance into the Jewish Heritage Museum and being moved to tears.

Wandering Chinatown, with an amazing guidebook that took me off the beaten tourist path. I learned a lot of history, and saw a lot of great little things.

Being mistaken for a local by both tourists and their guides.

Walking all the way from my hostel (at 103rd) to Battery Park. Which is over two thirds of Manhattan from tip to tip.

Day one was mainly the walk from the hostel, wandering around Lower Manhattan (the financial district) - including stumbling onto Wall Street completely by accident. Checking out the Jewish Heritage museum, and wandering around Chinatown. I don't know what I'll be doing tonight. I'll figure something out. Friday night in New York!
