We got our walking shoes on (ie. my new Sketchers!), caught a bus a started exploring. It was a beautiful day in New York City. Sorry to my Wagga friends but it was 32 degrees today!
Chambers Street off Broadway! Ha!
A restaurant named Chevy’s! My baby is named Chevy. Love it.
We caught the Staten Island Ferry and went past the Statue of Liberty. She’s a beauty! We decided not to go over to her directly as it’s pretty crowed. We were happy to ride around on the ferry looking back at New York.
The gorgeous skyline! On the left the 2 tall buildings are the new World Trade Centres. They will be completely finished in about 2 months.
You can’t come to New York and not be sipping on Starbucks caawwwfffee! It’s the truth (oh, it’s the truth is my new saying – in an American accent).
I couldn’t help it! The shop was like a lolly shop. And CHEAP!
BlogHER started this afternoon. Here I am! Ready to soak it all up.
I sat with some American girls. They were like “you came all the way over? You blog?? Really! Oh, that’s fun.” Haha. Plus, I had to explain my blog name because The Block means commission housing over there 😉
You can’t really tell here, but Obama was live via satellite on the screen. I filmed his speech. It’s in 2 parts on my youtube channel (my arm got sore and I’m blogging on an ipad so I couldn’t edit it for you!).
Still excited. No Jetlag yet. Fingers crossed!
