i'm in new york!
hello there!guess where i am?did you guess new york? good guess! you are really smart.yep, i'm in the big apple, mostly for work, but also for FUN! i've never been to new york, so when i found out that my next work trip was going to take me there, i decided to take a vacation day and enjoy the city on my own time. i wanted mr. z to come with, but he's got this thing called a job, and also there's the whole ticket prices for flights being ridiculous thing. so that didn't work out. but because he's so nice, he let me use all of his hilton points for my hotel. and he is not even staying with me. he gets those points by being gone from home traveling for work, and he let me use them all. what a guy, huh? okay, done bragging about my awesome husband.
so i'm here in new york, and i'm super excited to just walk around and see as much as i possibly can while i'm here. when i was in spain, and in uruguay, my favorite thing to do was just walk around and look at things. if i had a coffee and a sandwich, i could last all day in a city doing that. for me, there's something about observing life in a different environment than i'm used to that just makes me happy. i want to see central park, 5th ave, greenwich village. i could probably just walk all the way down 5th ave and then turn around and come back and be happy. it's the simple things people.the thing that i'm probably the MOST excited for though, is seeing a friend of mine that i studied abroad with. we haven't seen each other in 4 years, and i cannot wait to catch up and hang out again. she has always lived here in new york, except for that brief stint in iowa city (good writing program....first question i asked her when we met too), so she gets to give me tips and see how little i know about this place....like not knowing if it was right to call the part of the city where i'm staying "midtown". ugh, honestly me, do some research. i brought her some wedding photos to look at because she threatened me with death if i didn't (but seriously h., you better appreciate them, because uploading photos to print is a biatch) and catching up with her is going to be the highlight of my time here. hear that new york city? she wins.hopefully if i don't suck too terribly much at taking photos, i can have a pretty blog post about my trip with pictures. we shall see.
