The
whole time we were in New York, I had coffee cravings, and I could never seem to
fulfill them when they occurred. I always wanted coffee at night, and
despite the fact that there were Starbuckses around every corner, I just
couldn't seem to find one that was open after 9pm when I always wanted it!
So after the whole locked theater debacle, even though it was almost midnight
and I was in a bad mood, I finally got my coffee because there just happened to
be an open Starbucks in the lobby of the hotel/theater (one thing you can count
on Times Square for is businesses being open later than they are anywhere else
in the city). So I took a picture of the elusive open-after-9
Starbucks. (The next day, of course.) Told you I was weird.

top of Belvedere Castle that morning when we didn't have our camera.
The
umbrella-wielding people are smarter than we.
The
locked theater doors. Oh how I love them.
The
way cool painting that told us our camera was missing.
And
its
more-colorful-on-the-surface-but-somehow-just-not-as-good-though-still-pretty
counterpart.
The
obligatory Motorola sign picture.
Yes,
New York is the Empire State. No, I don't know what that means. But
they named a building after it.
Macy's
may or may not be the "world's largest store." I think the
consensus is "not."
The
gargantuan Bjork-like-chick Levi's ad a block from Uri's apartment. Yes,
that IS the entire side of a building.
The
Hudson River right (and I mean right) outside our train between New York and
Albany.
Yeah,
so that's West Point Military Academy. Very fortressesque.
So
I realized that I never showed a groups shot of everyone that was there, so here
it is. Everyone but us, taken the night before we got there. Marcus,
Helen, Becky, Mary, Ryan, Glen, Brandon, Andie, Nathan, David.
So
then I realized that the above shot also did not include Uri, our generous
host. So here he is, on the right, with Ryan, our other friend from high
school, on the left. Oh, and that's Lady Liberty in the middle. Not
sure what her first name is...
