Today I decided to use two more of the passes from my 'New York City Pass' so I went to the Museum of Modern Art and then to the Empire State Building. MOMA had some great pieces, and so many of those very famous pieces that you have always wanted to see. Monet Waterlilies and Agapanthas, Jackson Pollock, Warhol, Matisse and Van Gogh.

Just got home from a 3 day trip to the nation's very lovely capital. We caught possibly the world's dodgiest bus from Chinatown NY to Chinatown DC. This is apparently quite a well known service, they run busses to Boston, Philly etc. And they are cheap at least 1/2 of what proper places charge. However, they run on a bit of a loose schedule which consists of you arriving in Chinatown at least 1/2 an hour before the scheduled departure time, having the driver do...
