Goodbye N.Y.

After both losing our jobs Ches and I decided to spend one more day in N.Y.C. before we left. This trip was a little different than other trips to the city. We both knew that this would be our last trip for a long time - if ever. So this feeling of finality set the tone for entire trip. We caught the early train into the city so we could spend as much time in New York City as possible. The first stop was Central Park. We saw some interesting sights including a guy skating on roller blades using ski poles to help him along. There was a singing group making absolutely beautiful music. They were singing harmonious sounds under an enclosed pedestrian bridge. The enclosure amplified their voices and was very impressive. After central park we headed for the Museum of Modern Art. I was excited to go b/c I knew that this museum housed some of the most well know pieces of art in the world. I was not disappointed. Along with having a who's who of modern artists, there was also an impressive collection of architecture design exhibits, and sculpture. I loved the MoMa and recommend it to anyone going to N.Y.C. After MoMa we headed to Ground Zero. We did not see much but I was happy that Ches convinced me to go to such an important place. We caught the train to Wall Street. There were only tourists b/c it was Sunday but the buildings made for nice pictures. We also saw Trinity Church and the Franklin Library. We ended the night with dinner at Applebee's in Times Square. We met this really nice waitress. She is one of 6 girls in her family. She told us her dad wanted one boy. He said he would give it one more try and then she was born. Times Square was cool but I did not feel sad leaving. New York overall has been disappointing and so I did not feel any attachment to the city. I was happy to have one last day in the city and I would not be suprised if it is my last.
