agroove . I knew that groove was in your heart

yay vacation! this is day 3 and our feet are super tired, pain grows every day because there’s soooo much walking, right now just chilling out at bryant park, this is the best park ever because it’s one of the prettiest park ive seen and im just had dinner – super tasty sandwich, and writing a blog b/c they have free wifi, at the park

we left friday night around 1030 pm, and flight was only 4.5 hours surprisingly, so it was good and bad, we had to try to sleep because we got a city tour at 10am est, and we were arriving at 6:30am est, and it worked out somewhat, though i thought it was kinda odd they were serving hot meals on such a short flight, at like 12 or 1am

we took the taxi cause i wasn’t sure how to take the subway to time square yet and ended up paying like $55 for the ride ;/ we dropped off our luggage at the big apple hostel right in time square, ate breakfast, and head off to the 6 hr city tour (been up for since 330 am vancouver time), long story short, way too many things to see, too much walking lol, but the tour was definitely a good start for the trip, and treated ourselves for anniv dinner fancy steak at del friscos at 945pm cause the wait was like an hr plus at 830 still, ppl like to eat their steak late

2nd time, not wasting any valuable time, we went to b&h in the morning to get my camera stuff, this camera/electronic store is freakin huge and amazing, i mean, it uses a conveyor belt system! and there’s so much stuff in store there’s only products on shelves and no stock! you look, choose what you want, and go to like a counter and order your stuff in store, then you take your order form and go pay, and pick up your stuff before you leave by the exit! what a crazy awesome shopping system, i picked up my r-strap (rs7), giotto blower (large), and domke camera bag (black f8 small bag), i had this salesperson telling me, if you have too much money to throw away, get domke, otherwise, get crumpler, because “crumpler is about half the price as domke”, what a liar, my domke bag was just like 10 bux more than the 4 mil dollar bag (which is what i originally wanted if they had the green in stock)

man the park is closing and i cant finish this, so we went on a food tour after, ate lots of cool food, faicco’s has some super awesome deep fried risotto ball, joe’s pizza has the best new york pizza in the city (so they say), murrays cheese shop has too many kinds of cheese, and lots more,

soho is super shopping area, i love uniqlo it’s the best store, and today we went to see statue of liberty and ellis island, the statue was smaller than i expected, i dunno why maybe in the movies it always supersized, and century 21 is a crazy 6 floor winner with even better stuff, like a giant nordstrom rack, with a million people in it

and i can’t stop sniffing
