There are many things that I have come to hate about New York and I could probably make you a decent list of reasons starting with tourists and the smells. that being said, I really don't look down on this city in anyway except literally.
On Thursday, Marilyn and I had a touristy adventure. After work we met up and went and wandered the High Line. This was an old elevated railway station that has been converted into a city park. It is a really neat little concept as it still has some of the track there and has a very railway feel to it even though it is this gorgeous park. I was a fan. You could see out onto the Hudson and into the city. There were a lot of views you wouldn't normally get just wandering the city. After we had made out way across the park we went to Top of the Rock to see the city. We chose going up Top of the Rock over the Empire State building cuz 1) I hate crowds and 2) I wanted the empire state building in my pictures.
It was soooooooo cool!!!!! I was worried it wouldn't be worth the $25 but I TOTALLY loved it. The view was gorgeous. We decided to go right as the sun was setting so we could see the city during the day and at night. Best decision ever. I seriously wish there was some way I could describe how great it was to see this beautiful sunset, nature at its finest, setting over this iron jungle. The contrast just hit me. I love nature and sunsets and being surrounded by trees and grass and flowers and animals and the changing seasons like we have back home. But I equally love the amazing manmade things that fill this earth. I love observing people and their creations and how the two interact. This moment was just a completely perfect meeting of both.
Just another fantastic day in NYC.
