NEW YORK!!!

Hola!

well new york. WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!! we both really loved it their and wished that we could have spared a few extra days so that we could see alittle bit more of it! it was crowded and very bright! (our first impression of new york was when we went in in the late afternoon to see the broadway show CHICAGO! (which i might add, was brilliant! both jess and i loved it immensly! :D) so as we came out, into times square, we saw people everywhere, and bright flashing billboards. was great!

but we had quite and eventful end to our eventful day (begining in canada) where the airline lost jess luggage (we fortunately got back the next day) and had to run for the train as we very nearly missed it! (but that just made our new york experience more complete....wasnt the only time we had to run either!)

the next day (our only full day in new york) we took a tour for 5 1/2 hrs around new york, and on the staton ferry pass the statue of liberty. which was very interesting and well worth it. our tour guide was an actor by night and a tour guide by day, he was a very interesting and funny old man, which made it all the more enjoyable!

the rest of the time we just spent wandering the streets around times square doing some shopping and alot of window shopping! but the place has a great atmosphere, and once you get over the sight of seeing police men walking around with great big machine guns and huge black dogs, you feel quite safe so long as you have your purse safley buckled and with your hand on it at all times!

we sadly left new york on tues at 2, and caught the train on a lonnnnngggg loonnngggggg ride down to gainsville georgia, which arrived at 7 in the morning. where we were met by the lovely beth kendall!!! was so great to see her again! so far i have not seen any one else that i used to know, but jess and i are currently spending a few hrs wandering round the square and so are going to visit peter in hunt tower (it looks the same dad!!!! taking lots of pics for you all!!!) also drove by mine and ris old school, riverbend elementary school, which looks completely different as they put a new front on the builing. and are right now sitting in hall county library of which...if i remember correctly, i was a member of! so it is very exciting for me!

anyways id better run!
luv you all lots an lots an lots!!!
your darling lella!
