Just got back from my vacation in New York! I really had a wonderful time, although I’m tired out! In four days I walked over 52 miles! YOW!
The hostel I stayed out was in a good location, but I never really slept well.

I toured a lot of my favorite things! These included the Museum of Modern Art, the 9/11 memorial, the Guggenheim, the Empire State Building (all the way to the 102nd floor!), St. Patrick and St. Bartholomew’s Cathedrals, Grand Central Terminal, the NY Public library, Rockefeller Center, the Marx Brothers home, and the Trinity Chapel.
Also really enjoyed seeing some of the best portraits and sculptures of Ben Franklin.
Went to the Natural History Museum and learned about Theodore Roosevelt, my new favorite president! Visited his childhood home. Also so the Rose Space exhibit, a new show on IMAX on Monarch Butterflies and a butterfly conservatory. Loved the dinosaurs!
I had a historical theme to my trip and visited many of the squares and buildings associate with the Revolutionary War and George Washington in particular.
Also liked the film and entertainment side of NYC and went to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and to the Film Biz Recycling center for props.

The flowers were amazing! The main reason I went to NYC for this particular trip was to see Todd Rundgren who played an amazing show! Enjoyed meeting him and had a nice chat after the show. Really an amazing trip. Sure am glad to be HOME!
