Damn, looking through the pics to upload them's been making me want to go back to New York City.
The thing I noticed the most about New York City, besides it being awesome, is something I'm not sure I can explain well. I hadn't been to New York City in, I think, like fifteen years. The last time we'd gone, I was early teens at the oldest, and all I remember was we went to the American Museum of Natural History. And all I remember of that really was the giant blue whale hanging overhead, and being really thirsty and not feeling well. I was just starting to get sick and spend the next day half-delirious in bed. But even then, we hadn't spent much time in New York City. But it felt familiar, like after part of the first day, yeah I was going "OOH! Look at the awesome buildings!" But I wasn't worried about getting lost, even when I forgot my map, I felt like I knew the city, and I belonged. Part of that was probably because almost all the time there were around a dozen people there I was hanging out with. And part of it might be because New York City's familiar from books and TV shows and movies and games and everything else. And part of it was probably just because I like cities. I'm a city ferret, for all I haven't really lived in any very long. And I never felt in danger in New York, partly because we were usually in a group, and on Manhattan, but everybody I met in New York was friendly and helpful. And I was happy the whole time. If I had the money, I'd live in NY. At least for a while.
I'm putting the details, and the pictures, behind an ( LJ cut )
Man. These take a lot longer to write than I figured. And I'm only halfway through New York. But I'll leave it there for now, to finally get something up. If anybody has suggestions on how I should write them more concisely, feel free. These keep feeling like I'm just babbling and not really getting anywhere on describing the things that happened.
