New York! New York!

Kim has a friend from France taking an english course in New York for a few months. So we took off friday and monday and went down to see him.

It's a crazy metropolis. You never get tired of looking up and being amazed by the skyscrapers.
Traffic is of course nuts, with people honking...pedestrians not looking or caring...and cars not moving. I can't believe people take taxis there...it must cost so much to move so little, but then the money there is definetly on display.

We did a large amount of walking, too many museums ( I don't think I need to see anymore natural history museums ).

I definetly don't get modern art.

Ground Zero was interesting, a good opportunity to see an important piece of current events...Kim had been up the twin towers a year or two before, I can't imagine how long time new yorkers feel looking up and not seeing it.

Other than that we did the usual tourist stuff, Staten Island Ferry, Empirt State, Central Park.

A good place to vist, 4 days was more than enough...we spent monday with sore feet, walking a few blocks and then relaxing in one of the many small green parks they have there ( amazing! )

But I wouldn't want to live there.
