New York

New York City. Centre of the universe. 

Flying into New York was just breathtaking. We were on the side of the plane with the magical views, and we flew oh so close to the dazzling lights of the city which apparently truly never sleeps. It was so fantastic I actually forgot to blink.

So we're here... finally. Our flight was 2 hours delayed which got us to our apartment at 1am. We have a sweet little studio-type space with a loft bed, a tiny kitchen and bathroom. It's 5th floor walk-up, which was a challenge with 6 bags! It's tidy and self-contained and in the middle of all the action, right by East Village and Union Square. Today we took a wander and walked through Central Park and slowly started to absorb being here. The metro pass is great for US$81/month: we're planning on hopping across to Brooklyn tomorrow. Couldn't be more polar opposite than Kansas I'm sure! It was nice when we thanked the cabbie last night, he turned to Aaron to say: "and welcome home".
