Day 2 - BIG Apple!

Plane ride went great. I broke down at the airport though... I couldn't stand it any longer... they had a VENDING MACHINE full of iPods, accessories, PSP's... it was too much for me! I was assaulted by technological sweetness! So... I bought an iPod. $267.00 after tax and I totally couldn't afford it. But now I'm swimming in 50gb of music I bummed off of Robert. It's the coolest thing EVER. I certainly don't stand out. Everyone in NYC has headphones on. It's like having your own theme music wherever you go... something I always speculated I was really supposed to have. It's truly wonderful when one of life's dreams come true when you least expect it. :-) Anyway, we made it in time to go on the "Circle Line Tour." It's basically a boat ride around the entire island. The guy telling you all the history was a little freaky. He was way too political and he kept plugging his book that apparently never sold any copies. But really... he was awesome in his weirdness and highly informative. Here's a few pics:



I've got one more pic here... (Just for you Julz) It's an advertisement for the Discovery Channel's "Shark Week." To put in perspective how huge this thing is... take a look at the windows with airconditioning units sticking out of it... someone lives there... I wonder how many bills they put down for that ad!

I am so there with you about the vending machine full of technology. I know, I know. I don't know a thing about iPods, etc. But, it looks soooo cool!!! What a world we live in. You look so happy in front of Lady Liberty. Did you ask her out? LOL!! I hope you're having a wonderful, memorable, time. I love you!!! By the way, what's your theme song?
