An account of my whereabouts during my travels !

Thursday, March 29, 2007

im so glad i found this.

On the Monday after St Patricks day me and Philippa went to New York for Spring Break. I feel like this deserves a separate entry (I just posted one about st patricks day under this one…yes you are spoilt) I loved it. Basically NY is the best ever (well I like berlin and Amsterdam too but its up there). I had such a good time and I loved everything, we did all the tourist stuff and….the best thing ever ever ever happened…I found Magners cider !!! So heres the pictures, theres a few more on my Flickr if you want to see them just click on any picture and check them out. but heres the best from the best (I took around 300 so didn’t upload them all)

We flew to Chicago first, heres a picture of it from the plane, it was strange to see it from so far above.

our hotel was very sexy, I had the top bunk and we each had our own wee tv screen. Ace.

some official ny cheescaek. Was so good. It was voted best in ny or something but basically I loved it. The girl in the background is not just a random, we met up with some folks from England that we know from Kansas for dinner. Oh and we are sitting outside because the place is right next to broadway and all the shows just got out so we had to freeze. Plus we are students so we bought a big cheesecake and cut it up with a fork cos its cheaper. Yas.

I wanna go to New York again! I went to an m&m place like that in Vegas and bought $9 of m&ms but the I realised that they would melt at the speed of light so I had to eat them all. It was intense.
Who was the famous lady?

Debbie said...

well it took me quite a while so im glad everybody enjoyed it :)

inverschnizzly your dream sounds extremely odd ! i can't analyse it at all except maybe you were anticipating my blog so much you started to dream about me !

alice thats super intense...i would of thought there crispy shells would have protected them ?

Debbie said...

oh and im not sure who the famous lady was but they were filming law and order and she was standing there ready to walk once the camera started rolling so she was just a random acress really !

gingermonkey said...

hey alice i went to the same m&m shop in vegas, but i prefered the coca cola shop shaped like a bottle next to it

turning_bull said...

It appears not. M&M should work on a melt-resistant thermoshell. I'd buy more M&Ms in hot climates. So many M&Ms....

I may work on a design now.

Debbie said...

you should def get working on that shell design. i bet it would market well. also ice lollies that dont melt would be nice

turning_bull said...

Me and ice lollies don't get along since one made me bleed. I was furious.
