New York: Day Three

Woah! What a crazy day. We started out around noon to head out on our tour that we booked last night. We headed uptown through all of the parts of the city. We saw everything from China Town, to Little Italy, to all of Broadway and so on. It was pretty cool. We took a bus that was open on the top...the seating was on the top. We had a tour guide that told us all about the main attractions. We learned where Kennedy stayed. Where Marilyn Monroe was for most of her career. Where George Washington gave his famous speech and ate dinner before heading off to war. We saw ground Zero and we saw that buildings that remain around. There were several monuments and cemetaries of fallen soldiers. We got to see the morgue where all 2,000 plus people were taken from the twin towers collapsing. We saw all the main government buildings. We even saw Trump Towers and all the ground he's trying to overtake. Of course, we saw the empire state building, we'll be taking a tour of that tomorrow. And don't forget all the shopping places in between (target, toys r us, gap, old navy, tommy hilfiger, victoria's secret, and even K-mart). It's crazy!! We finally arrived at our yacht that we took around the harbor on a mini cruise to see the statue of liberty. She was breath taking. I believe that was my favorite part of the day. My favorite part of the evening, however, was of course seeing the broadway show, Legally Blonde. It was amazing! Everything I've ever dreamed of, and more. We found this awesome half price joint that sold us our tickets for cheap (compared to regular priced tickets ;) and it was worth every penny. Things were all hunky dorey of course until we got to the subway. Why is it when you're waiting at midnight for the train it gets scarier and scarier. I've decided I hate the subway. It's confusing, it's scary, and it's awkward. It took forever to get to our street. Then of course we had to taxi again to our hotel. We had a crazy cab driver that kept telling us about how much he hates O'Bama and how even if he wins he's going to be assasinated. How all the democrat speeces were lies and how he thinks McCain's got it in the bag so why is everyone even wasting their breath? I couldn't believe it. I'm not stating whether I'm democrat or republican....I'm just saying it's nutso to bring up three things in a situation where you aren't familiar with people. If you want to turn people off immediately, here's how.....just mention politics, money, or religion. Take your pick :)
