I left for new york only a week ago. quick recap: spent about three full days in manhattan and visited rockefeller and enjoyed the top of the rock, rode the ferry to staten island to get the view of lady liberty and ellis island, walked harlem on easter sunday, then a nap in central park leading to more wandering around manhattan before a beer at the marriott martisse in times square, flight to vegas, night in vegas, drive to grand canyon (and walked for an hour on the rim) to yosemite (and hiked within) to san francisco (over two days)... and it's only been a week. until then---
