hey, Jason here. so if you hadnt already guessed New York is funking amazing. as dan said unfortunatly we cant upload any photos on the computers at this hostel which is a bit of a pain. been here three days and have taken about 200 already! have to hang tight for them.

so far we have been to the top of empire state building which was incredible, started off with quite low visibility because of low cloud after a thunder and lightning storm but the sun soon burnt all of that off and the view was unreal. yesterday we did about 12 hours walking around central manhaton which was a bit of a killer but well worth it! saw a tonne of cool stuff like the NBC studios, Rockerfella center and countless more insane stuff.

the weather was much better today, we got up pretty early to skip the que for the statue of liberty but it was already around the block when we got there about 10:30 am. however in true british fashion we joined the end of the line and once again it was well worth it. the ferry took us all around ellis island and dropped us off to have a walk around. it was surpisingly small though, i always imagined to be a lot larger. next we caught the tube to SoHo or South of Houston Street. we got off on the wrong stop to begin with and were wondering around some dodgy area, but we soon found our bearings and found all the trendy shops. bought a new hoody. love it. (thanks maz :P).

then the rain came down and we ran back to the hostel.(via more tubes).

stay tuned!

I'm not your friend yet, so I can't comment on your photos on facebook, but that second photo of the statue of liberty, with the dark clouds? That is a wonderful picture.
I have to say it's weird seeing an album full of photos that are just the kind of photos I took of the UK, except they are landmarks I recognize. ;D
