Yo yo yo everyone! Well ive finally managed to get some pictures on here at last! The first album is pics Off my big camera and then the 2nd album are ones of my little crappy camera (so more drunken silly ones on the 2nd!). They are all in a mixed up order which i cant be bothered sorting out at the moment but basically they cover Miami, Orlando, Washington, New York and then a couple from Boston as we got here yesterday - (the baseball ones are Boston).
New York was ace - i loved it so much. The first night we got there we went straight down to Times square and had our first McDonalds of the trip. Then Liz and Carol went to watch the little mermaid but i didnt fancy it so i got the tube down to Greenwich Village/Chealsea area and went to a few bars and read my book and magazines and steadily got quite tipsy. The other 2 came and met me later and we went to a really cool club in the east end - near little Italy. It was ace music - daft punk, MGMT, Hot Chip etc and then downstairs they started playing 90's dance.. was loving it! We struggled getting back later but we got directed to the tube by some locals at the club and we crawled in around 5am.
The next day we monged around central park all day in the sun and played frisbee etc and listened to music. Then at night we stayed in the Hostel and played cards with people also staying there and watched transformers. Two guys who were studying at Salford were staying there so had a chat with them. Small world!
The 3rd day we did all the touristy stuff like seeing statue of liberty, the world trade centre area (which was really weird as last time i was in NY they were still there)and empire state building. Oh and this day we got woken up by a really annoying american guy staying in our room who at 8am - when everyone was asleep - decided to wake everyone up by shouting 'GOOD MORNING HOSTELITES!!'. I just thought - oh my god are you serious and pretended i was still asleep. Thats the funny part of hostels though - you meet many many weirdos. We have decided that i attract them all (Did i mention on our 2nd train journey i sat next to a farting tranny?!).
Oh also in the day today we sat watching these people play frisbee in New York and then Carol said that she was pretty sure it was the Arctic Monkeys and then they had north england accents so maybe it was. Me and Carol thought about challenging them to a frisbee off.. but we didnt want to make them look bad.
At night we decided to go out again (we were in NY after all!) - we played some card/drinking games in the hostel and then went out with an Irish guy called mike who was staying in our room. We went to about 3 clubs before finding one that played really good music again and we danced until the early hours. Then we got the tube the wrong way home and ended up getting a taxi at about 5am. Good night though!
We are now in Boston staying with Liz and Carols cousin and his wife - Johnathon and Barbara. They live just near Boston in a place called Manchester weirdly enough apart from this one is in New Hampshire. So far with these we have done crazy golf, been to 3 american style meals (big portions, lots of ribs etc) and today we went to watch the Fisher Cats play baseball. It was loads of fun and i think i understand the game now (mainly anyway). Our team won woo hoo! Tomorrow we are off to go on a duck tour which apparently is like a bus/boat thing.. sounds interesting anyway. I feel really bad as they keep paying for everything but they wont take our money! They are very friendly and live in a proper american house made from wood with a post box at the end of the drive etc..
Right its late so im going to go. I'll try and send some more personal messages when i can. Thanks for all the messages again!.
