New York, New York! - Day 2 »

New York, New York! - Updated

Safe and sound in New York! The trip was pretty funny, shall go into details next time. I’m eating at a pizza place now, the portions are just HUGE! Can’t add pictures cos my card reader is pretty inaccessible now. David’s making a call to the hotel now to find the easiest way to go while I make a quickie post here. I’ve already taken a ton of photos. Mailed a postcard to ben and I’m about to leave. ~~Will update with photos when I can get to my pictures in the camera.~~

Now for a photodump!! Big one! Took me ages. Don’t expect this kinda numbers all the time! I also captioned everything.. I’m so tired I fell asleep a few times doing this. Good night and good morning people.
