we drove for a looooong time this morning. and got stuck in traffic in dc for a looooooong time. but we got to see some really cool stuff on the way. we saw the high school that jerai grant went to, passed right through the maryland campus, and drove through some really cool towns. we got to our hotel around three thirty this afternoon after a really stressful time of driving through new york city.
we started off in chinatown, on account of we wanted to be there in the light. good choice, girls. we were off in search of illicit stolen/counterfeit goods. whelp. we found them. a few asian women, two sketch alleys, two basement hideaways, and seven purses later, we got out of there. sheesh. (mom and dad, we were reallllly cautious and safe.) absolutely the most sketchy operation i have ever been a part of.
then we got a cab to times square. we checked out all the important things and then used chan's new phone's app called urban spoon to find us a LEGIT sushi spot only two blocks off the square. maybe the best dragon roll i've ever had.
after dinner, we set off toward the empire state building. a few stops (H&M...be still my beating heart) later, we got there and it was really breathtaking. got some great photos. (actually, i don't know if they're great yet because they're FILM. i can't wait to take them to walmart.) the whole time up there i was reminded of the scene from "extremely loud & incredibly close" when they're talking to the woman at the top of the building. love that book.
then we went to starbucks and then walked back to the hotel. and now we're going to sleep. tomorrow i'm going to the cathedral and i'm freaking excited.
(the only pictures i'll be posting throughout the week are on twitpic... http://twitpic.com/photos/jtread )
