New Yorkkk ...

It was a very memorable trip. New York and DC. A trip that lasted 5 days. Pretty long i would say considering most trips I made were a max of 3 days.

The New York journey started with a subway ride from the airport to Manhanttan. Oh well, we got lost. We went past ahead of our destination. We were tired of sitting in the train. We got off the next stop and decided to walk back. I cannot explain the excitement in our minds when we got off that train and came out to see the sun. We were relieved of the train, excited to see New York and focused on getting to the hotel. Thats how the trip began!

Our first tourist location was Grand Central, just another railway station I would say. However, the scenes from Karan Johar movies made it special and we identified all those places that SRK and Rani would meet. I liked the food court there. So much variety in a single food court is rare to find.

Next on line was meeting the rest of the group that got split up at the airport. Finally, we met them and proceeded to a Cathedral Church nearby our hotel. The church was sure very pretty. Tinted glasses, high ceilings, it had a very European look to it.

Next was Rockefeller centre and up Empire State Building. The view! The city! The population in New York and the active city life had already astounded me. And looking at the high rise building from atop Empire State, New York astounded me all the more. I had never seen a city with so many high rise buildings. Each with a different company's name associated with it. Such crowded downtowns, such construction. I was reminded of the way the novel 'Fountain Head' had ended. Only in a city like New York could that ending have made sense!!

As usual, when I start writing there is no end to it, more posts about New York to follow ....
