new york

we all arrived safely in new york. it is absolutely freezing here. when we went
out for breakfast this morning it was minus 3 centigrade but with wind chill it
feels a lot colder. we’ll call it “bracing” shall we! everyone has split up to
do their own thing so far today. judith, matt and i paid a visit to ground zero
and then i walked back from there up to central park. we are all meeting for
lunch in an hour at grand central station.

got an e-mail from mum and dad saying that the weather hasn’t been great for
the last few days. hopefully it will pick up soon.

we are going to do the empire state building when it gets dark and then, i’m
sure we’ll have a few drinks. pictures will start to go up tomorrow when i have
some time on the plane as we fly to orlando. at some point today i have to do
my christmas shopping but i’m not sure when i’ll get the chance.
