I do New York

Whew, I've been settling back into life in Moscow.  Now I finally have time to share some more about my trip to New York!

Firstly, I'd like to say that New York is truly impressive!  From far away, it seems almost like all of the talk about it must be a legend, but it really IS a great city.  People from all over the world live there, and there are always things going on! Here are some of the cool things I saw.  I really liked the contrast between the tall buildings and the smaller neighborhoods :-)

The new World Trade Center - Building 1

The Empire State Building, seen from the Highline walkway

The Trump Tower, wheeee!!!

Central Park

I loved the lily pads!

Hi everybody, I met a new friend in New York! Here's what happened:

He let me go, though! :-)

I also jumped off the Trump tower!

Hello Irene!

Hi everybody, I just went through a hurricane in NYC!!! I didn't go outside and actually it wasn't as bad as everybody thought it was going to be, but it was still exciting and a little scary to have to hide inside without knowing how bad it would get.

Here are some pictures of me outside after the storm had passed, it was still a little windy up on the end of the bridge, I didn't cross it because I was a little worried.

A broken window!  I'm not sure it was from the storm, though.

Me on the street.

This pigeon looked a little worse for wear after the storm :-)
