Well, I’m in New York, New York. I frickin’ love this place!
Times Square has to be the coolest place I’ve ever seen in my life.
I haven’t got time to write up what I’ve done so far, so I’ll mention a few; today I went to Grand Central Station and the Morgan Museum, I’ve also been up the Empire State Building, been to ‘Ground Zero’ (the World Trade Centre site), been on a helicopter around the edge of the city, been to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, the Hard Rock Café in Times Square and all the other cool stuff. I did a bus tour and took many many photos with my new camera (Canon PowerShot SD450) and went to the world’s largest store, Macy’s. In my opinion the worst store in the world, boring as hell.
Washington, D.C.
I’m now in Washington for the weekend, came on the train from NY yesterday morning, going back there on Monday morning, then staying in the Big Apple till Friday night. Woo!
Went for a wander yesterday once we’d located the Hotel and our rooms, and just happened to come across the White House. It’s pretty cool. Got many many photos since I got my camera. My parents bought it me as an early 18th birthday present, it’s a Canon Powershot SD-450. Perfect for what I want it for. Will be shooting some parkour footage and getting some editing done.
