On Thursday I went to New York City with Richie and his family! :] We drove down to Bayonne and caught the Path train right into the city. We ventured through the subway and made our way to the Central Park Zoo. The line for tickets was quite long, but that was alright. We ate hot dogs and it moved relatively quickly. Once inside, Richie and I got to split off and do what we wanted. Naturally I made him come with me to the polar bears! :D They were so adorable, I cannot even begin to explain. All of them were so lazy, lying on rocks or cuddling in caves. Let's face it, I was in love! Next we tried to scope out the red pandas, but they were hiding, so we went off to the penguins. Penguins are also the cutest ever, putting on a little show for the crowd. We saw several other animals as well, and all in all it was a nice zoo trip. I had been there once before, but it never gets old. Not to mention that was a long time ago.
We left the zoo eventually and went for a walk through Central Park. Gosh it is so beautiful there! When I'm done with college, I want to live in New York City. End of story. The rest of the day consisted of walking really, and we made our way over to Times Square. I bought myself a shirt, we ate some food, then it was time to go. I met some of Richie's relatives back in Bayonne, then he drove us all home. Oh yeah, on the subway we had a run-in with your usual "homeless/broke person" who needed money. He gave a speech about "times being hard" and "having no address". You feel bad, but deep down you don't know what to believe. A strange situation, you know?
We got back to Richie's, ate pizza, then played the Wii! I was sucking so bad at Mario Party, but I miraculously won in the end! Hahaha everyone was surprised, and we all just laughed about it. We played some other mini-games until finally Richie had to drop me off. I have some pictures that I'll put up later. Sadly, my mom had my Nikon that day so I just used my Olympus point-and-shoot.
Today is Easter, so happy Easter everyone! :] I will be going to my grandma's where I will partake in an Easter egg hunt! Sounds lovely!
