The Big Apple and the end

It's one of those places that many want to see. I have been once and was so looking forward to going again. For Dez this was her first time. Here are the high's and lows from the last leg of our trip:

- staying at the YMCA about 15 steps away from Central Park (no they didn't ask us to do the dance)

- naming our yoga pictures "yoga graffiti"

- more yoga graffiti

- walking through Central Park in the morning

- running through Central Park

- strolling through Central Park at night

- more jumping

- walking through downtown (suit watching on Wall Street)

- mourning the loss at ground zero

- the Highline (an old railway line now converted into a green walking space) 

- having a hotdog in Battery Park

- using the subway (at any given time it is packed)

- having to switch carts on subway due to the most foul (human) smell encounter ever

- being blinded by the lights in Times Square 

- having a delicious pizza and finally some good wine in little Italy

- feeling like we were in asia in Chinatown

- listening to live music in Greenwich

- visiting the Flatiron building

- looking at the Statue of Liberty (being amazed by how small it is) 

- walking across the Brooklyn Bridge

- visiting the Museum of Modern Art (wow)

- drinking the best beer of my life (first time I had one which I would gladly have again)

- losing a down jacket (since I bought it here 5 years ago, perhaps that's an appropriate ending)

- buying glam leather jackets dirt cheap (sold by an excellent salesman from Trinidad who at some point said "who cares if you are cold, if you look hot")

- watching a baseball game (hotdog and all), those boys are so cute in their stretchy pj's 

- saying goodbye to America

- the end

All in all it was a fantastic trip we had some high high's and few-to-no lows. 6 flights, 5400 kms, 10 States, 20+ motel rooms, 60+ beers, 20+ dance floors, 10 new friends, ? new stuff, 100 laughs, and 11 blogs!

We laughed, we danced, we drank, we jumped, we posed, we slept, we ate, we breathed, we cried, we moved, we blushed, we flirted, we missed, we lost, we won, but most of all we had us some fun! 

To have in life a friend with which to experience something like this is an honour and gift! 

Thanks Dez for creating with me some memories that will last a life time. Here's to many more we will gather together!
