It was a hot and muggy New York day. Exactly what you would expect for August in New York. Our hostel is just fine. TOTALLY unfancy and a bit run down - but everything is clean. The room is very small, but the air conditioning works and the bathroom is just next door and even at 10 this morning there was hot water for the shower.
We went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim. I wasn't overly impressed by the Met; but thoroughly enjoyed the Guggenheim - both the collections and the magnificent building.
We bought a new camera as my old one was driving me absolutely bonkers! So I will soon have some pics to post.
At 7pm we went on a Harbour Lights Cruise which gave Aaste an opportunity to see the Statue of Liberty; which was (for some reason) the ONE thing Aaste was determined to see here.
Tomorrow the plan is to do MOMA and then wander in southern Manhattan, as so far we have mostly just seen midtown areas. So tired I can hardly type ....
This blog chronicles a 10 month period of travel that I took with my 13 year old daughter in 2007/08.
