little update from the BIG town!
Hello from the Big Apple, New York!! It's been a bit of a change of scenery (and pace of life) from little Trois-Pistoles to New York City! Jenny and I have been here in Manhattan since Sunday night to explore this "Capital of the World"! And that it is... it's HUGE! I got to see the two things I really wanted to see - the Statue of Liberty and the U.N. Headquarters, among other fun things... Times Square, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Wall Street. And the World Trade Centre site too... I never would've thought that I'd ever be here to see all these big famous landmarks, but here I am! We were thinking of seeing a Broadway musical while we're here too, but it's costs way too much! haha... thats okay though, I've seen more than my share of very cool things this summer, and still have lots of fun ahead when we get back to Montreal and Toronto... and finally back to Vancouver in about a week! =)NYC in pictures...
Crazy city!! Times Square area
Statue of Liberty!
(We weren't really THAT close...!)
The 8th Great Wonder of the World... the gigantic Empire State Building!
The World Trade Center site
Outside the United Nations Headquarters... with all 192 member country flags.
Did you know that inside it's actually international property, not U.S. property?
Inside the U.N. General Assembly chamber, where all the countries
meet to discuss the most important issues of the day...
if you've seen The Interpreter, this might look familiar!
