still in nyc
Well, I’m still in New York City, and it’s lunch time during my wonderful training session. Overall I’d say the training is going really well, and my trip here has been great. The best part was Lisa coming out to visit for the weekend.
Over the weekend, we went to see a bunch of stuff. Most of Saturday afternoon was spent in Central Park, and then we went down to the Statue of Liberty. Unfortunately, the last boat to actually go to the island had already left, so we couldn’t get out there. While we were at that end of Manhattan, we also walked around the financial district and saw some cool stuff. New York Stock Exchange, the bull, Trinity Church, etc.
On Sunday, we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the afternoon. That was pretty interesting, and we saw a bunch of American and European artifacts. We also walked through a bit of the Egyptian and Asian displays. After that we went to see Grand Central Station, and then to Rockefeller Center.
We went out to dinner each night, with each meal getting progressively better. Sunday night was at a place called The Playwright Restaurant and Pub, and it was just great. We also had breakfast/lunch each day at a place called the Evergreen Restaurant, which was really close to the hotel.
Overall, the weekend was really great. Lisa and I got to spend time together, and we saw some really cool things. There is so much more to see though, and I think I might try to make it over to see the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. But we’ll see how that goes.
The city is getting a little boring, and I’m actually looking forward to going back to Michigan. Never thought I’d say that, but I really need to start getting settled. I don’t want to stay at my cousin’s for a long time, so I need to find an apartment pretty quick. Once that is done, hopefully by the beginning of March, I can really start getting things back to normal.
Not much more from NYC, so I’m off….
