After brunch and some shopping yesterday (I bought another pair of shoes! Other people buy souvenirs... whatever!) Michelle, Elisabeth and I went for a walk down to Washington Square to carve pumpkins. We each bought a small pumpkin on the way. Michelle was explaining that in Manhattan people don't have yards so the parks are like communal backyards. It's true. I would have felt like a fool carving a pumpkin in a public park in Vancouver, but in Manhattan it felt ordinary.

OK. I'm in New York (well, at this exact moment I am in New Jersey... but whatever) and there are a million things to take pictures of. I haven't even scratched the surface. I have douzens more photos I could post just from my one weekend in Manhattan. Today is kind of a lazy day, I am just kicking around Elisabeth's. But obviously I'm not going to spend all my time posting pictures while I am here. I do have to upload them to make more room in my camera of course so from today on, at least while I am here, I'll just post a link to the FTP directory where the raw pictures can be seen.

This bug costume was fantastic. He rapelled down one of the columns and chased people after the main parade had finished.

Waiting at the restaurant Saturday Night:
Somehow, inexplicably, being crammed into the front of a restaurant felt more interesting. It wasn't "like New York" this is New York!

OK. I'm waiting to download the photos from the cathedral so I can fix them in photoshop and post them but all Elisabeth has at home is a 56K modem. I am so spoiled. I remember being thrilled about 2400 baud...
Stay tuned. I'll have a bunch of really cool pictures up soon. Later today I'll be going back into the city to go see "From Hell" with about douzen of Elisabeth's friends.

So here I am in NYC. I'm sitting in a loft apartment owned my Elisabeth's friend Michelle typing away while they read the Sunday Times.
