Catherine and I got home after a fun and successful NYC trip Sunday morning around 4am. Thank god we got a ride home from school with a friend of ours otherwise we would have had a much longer route back home involving crashing on other people's couches.
The trip was great, though. We spent a lot of time in Time's Square, went up the Empire State Building, strolled through Central Park and ate at several of the million deli's they have in that city.
They also have a lot of McDonald's and Burger Kings. Crazy.
Still, it's hard not to get swept up in the fast pace and crowded streets of the city. There's a constant buzz going on there that's hard not to like. Also, as you look up at the huge buildings you can see how effective a hero like Spider-Man would be in this city. Every manhole cover I passed I wondered if the Ninja Turtles were down there.
Even though it only amounted to two and a half days of sightseeing, we're exhausted. Heck, we didn't even make it out of Manhattan. Though I did get to go to Marvel Comics' offices and have a look around. Much smaller than you'd think, quite dirty with splotches of dirt on the carpet and scuff marks all over the walls, no ventilation (the place was damn hot) but all in all, a cool experience. How many people have gotten to stick their heads in there? Jeez, I'm a happy guy.
The bus ride was long and uncomfortable. The way there we all tried our best to sleep even though the bus driver was cranking music to ear-splitting levels. The way back was better as I threw on a few DVDs for us to watch thanks to the TV at the front. That made the trip go by much quicker.
All in all, a good trip. But I'm still tired so I'm going to go watch TV or something. Poor Catherine had to go to school today.
