Tavis and Miranda's Excellent Adventure
From afar New York appears daunting and a little scary.. but when here, although very busy and crazy, New York is quite an easy and safe city. We are staying in the centre of it all on Manhattan Island. We have quite a nice hotel close to Central Park and Time Square. We have toured Manhattan on a double decker bus and seen places like the Empire State building, Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, St Paul's Cathedral, Central Park (contrary to outsiders belief there were no muggers to be seen), United Nations Building, about 5 of Trump's Towers and buildings and Times Square. We went and saw the Lion King musical on Broadway which was fantastic.
We have been walking heaps lately which, despite our tired legs, is good to help burn off all the food and drink we have been consuming. New York pizza, hotdogs and pretzels are not the most nutritious, but as they say 'when in Rome'.
We caught up with Gina (Miranda's friend from College) and her boyfriend Ben. We had a great night out that included too many magaritas, wine and tequilla!! It would seem crazy to walk the streets of New York during the early hours of the morning - but we felt completely safe catching the subway and walking home at 2am.
Since travelling the US I think we have both realised that our country roots are more deeply set then either of us had known... we are both really looking forward to leaving the fast pace and craziness of the city life and kicking back in the Canadian wilderness. We have set up interviews in Whistler so we are crossing our fingers that we can score jobs there.
