NEW YORK, NEW YORK!

I got to New York on Saturday night at about 8:pm. New York is certainly the city that never sleeps! This afternoon I went to the Empire State building and stayed there till about 9:30PM. Its great to see the entire city in front and below you. Looking at where the twin towers of the World Trade Center used to stand, its hard to imagine that once those to towers stood there. Last night we took a walk down Broadway. All the giant screens that cover the buildings, the lights, the sounds the smell, the traffic and all the people walking around shopping at 1:00 o'clock in the morning... all combined to make New York live up to my expectations as the uncontested capital of the world.

Today I also walked down Wall Street and saw the New York Stock Exchange where the Dow Jones and the NASDAQ's live and play!

Tommorow I'll be going to the Statue of Liberty Island and checking out Central Park.

Hey Marv!

Thanks for the compelement:) I always try to take the best shot for you guys! Did you see the one I took of the Canadian PM? I felt like a paparazzi taking it! But who knows, maybe one day I will become a pro! I'm certainly getting alot of practice on this trip.

Hey bro,

When you say its a good deal for a 5 star hotel are yousaying around $US50 per night? Because that's about my limit for accomodation. I'm stataying at the NY Hostelling International for $US30 a night.

Hey Andrew,

Ney York is so big that Idont think i'll be able to find your Uncles Vet clinic. I dont think i'll be going outside of Manhattan. Tommorow i'll be going to Boston already so i'm really pressed for time :{ Last night i listened to the radio and i finally heard that "Mr Lonely" song you told me about- I think its quite funny with the chipmunk voice!

I'll try to call you in Boston cuz.

Cheers.
