Well, that was some trip. New York is mental and after years of procrastination I agreed to go up the Empire State Building and loved it. I resisted the temptation to hock a loogey off the top, fearing possible death for whoever it hit and certain death for me at the hands of the uniformed goons on the viewing platform.
We saw Marine 1, The Kennedy burial plot, The White House, Library of Congress, Ground Zero, The Whitney Museum, The Guggenheim, Strawberry Fields, The Dakota Building, Battery Park, The Statue of Liberty (from a distance but it still counts), The Museum of the American Indian, Apollo 11, The Air and Space Museum and ate until we nearly popped.
I am officially temporarily done with meat, chips, bacon, art, science, aeroplane food, and anything other than my own bed.
In other words, God Bless America, but it's good to be back in Blighty! (cue rousing chorus of Gilbert & Sullivan "oooooh, he is an englishmaaaannnnnn)
