White Collars

Yes I went to Washington… lots of museums…beautiful architecture… however, not the most stimulating place that I have ever been too. A few things I did enjoy were the lovely art museum, which housed a piece of blue tube string which was a couple of meters long and wide it was such a strange and foreign sensation to walk through it. I did have some down time to read Just Kids by Patti Smith and also watch the whole Beatles anthology again so in other words Washington was a holiday; however,  It was a lovely journey home. I made friends with an Australian man called Josh who wore a NYC cap and was as overjoyed as I was to board the flight to our cold country, which was calling me and most likely him with open arms. Here are a few images from the trip, I start back at uni again tomorrow! I cant work out if I am nervous or excited. It will be lovely to walk around the cold foggy city again.

 Us and Them

So New York is treating Samuel and I very nicely, from the subways, which feels like your in a sauna, to the buskers that seem to do the strangest things to capture your attention and of course your money. I really am having a great time! Sam and I have ventured to the broadway to the circus, to a few band things in Brooklyn, some drunken lunches followed by a lot of giggles on the subway! Well today Sam and i went to the hells kitchen market where i found this amazing stall, the owner of the stall was also the owner of some amazing things !! I will post some photos up of the little goodies I found there in my next post!
Below are a few photos taken within two days probably about four days ago hehe ! So there are many photos to come ! The cat photo below was taken in a nice little record store on Bleeker street (the street that Bob Dylan got famous on,) Sam brought a million records, my favourite was the sounds of the Budos band. There was a sneaky coronas incident in central park one morning.. and I did have a lot of difficulty getting up that tree in the photo below.. Sam finally found a hat that suited him, it was an amazing moment. Below there is also a bearded man in Washington square park listening to some jazz buskers. There is a fairest wheel in Coney Island... Sam and I happened to go on it...and not long after we ventured to a high thrill ride, which consisted of me giggling and screaming hysterically.. Sam hasn't looked at me the same since. Yes there is also a couple selfie.. guilty as charged. There are a couple of photos of Shea stadium which we went to last night for the second time to see Woodsman, for once the night consisted of me looking after a very talkative and drunken Samuel. There is Sam hailing a cab whilst eating a strawberry, him walking through Williamsburg in Brooklyn, him in a music store in Greenwhich, drinking some thai beer... a litttle box that our check came in.. what was inside it was not as pretty but the box did cushion our fall.

Well i will stop rambling !! I will post some photos of the last couple days in the next couple days hehe ! It feels so good to be doing another post !! I hope you enjoy xx
