I'm back! And pooped. Apparently I was pretty disoriented because I was on my way to Mountain View to pick up China at Bob's place and kept getting lost.. forgot to take the Dumbarton so I had to go all the way around the peninsula, then didn't know what exit to take, etc etc. But in the end I'm sitting at my 'puter at home with a messload of clean laundry to fold but I don't want to cuz I'm pooped and hungry. What to eat.. it may be a cereal dinner tonight, folks.
Yesterday was awesome. In the morning we went to the Empire State Building and ventured up to the top to see the view. It was positively freezing up there and the wind was blowing hard.. but it was an amazing experience.
Afterwards we went to the World Trade Center.. words can't express how sad it was being at Ground Zero.
In the evening, we went to Chinatown and ate at this cheap, small restaurant tucked away in a side street. There were a lot of Chinese people so we figured it'd be pretty good.. and it was! Mm... I love duck, and I had this dish called shrimp congee which was yummy.
So now I'm back.. I have to meet with my tax preparer tomorrow and get ready to start my new job on Monday. My framed picture of the NYC skyline broke in my suitcase so I had to throw the whole thing away.. :(
It's wierd how travelling to a different part of the world changes your perspective on life. I remember before I was going to take off how annoyed I was at my roommate.. she's not a very clean person. But coming back I'm okay about it all.. it's messy but I'm coolio. She also didn't water my plants and most of them died. :( FUCker. But hey, I'm cool.
