So as the night progressed Blue Star, and I required nourishment, and went to look for food, being a holiday most places were closed until we found one place that had pizza down the road, it was tasty. After that and a little while hanging around her dwelling we decided to head out and go watch the fireworks.

We ended up in Manhattan under a bridge-esque thing (mostly just a raised street) and watched the fireworks on the East river, they were quite impressive. It lasted for about a half hour and was well done, but then came the stampede of New Yorkers all trying to get on the subway, blue star and I decided to say screw it and walked,

We walked the entire brooklyn bridge and then got on the train. It was a beautiful stroll, a bit of vertigo with all the steel chariots rolling by below and looking through the grates at the wate below. The skyline was beautiful and all the smoke from the fireworks was great. The walk was good, train ride loud I must say. We then returned and both geeked out a bit and did some reading.

I believe I was reading the comic called “Preacher”, I highly recommend it to anyone who likes and interesting read, especially if you are a fan of Warren Ellis, you’d enjoy this (not by ellis but similar in style).  After that read, and some interesting Messages of text, we both retired for the night, and decided to do touristy things the next day.

A much delayed post but here it is:
Over the summer, The weekend of July 4th, I took a trip down to The Big apple to visit my cousin, Blue Star, a talented musician and a Sound Engineer with a B.A. Degree from Smith College. I departed in a people transportation machine (run by Megabus, service was good) on Friday July 4th(I hear it is a big holiday in the States go figure:P) from “South Station” In Boston, Massachusetts. I arrived at south station around 9 o’clockA.M. in order to get to my area for departure. I met a man using an O.L.P.C. and he gave me a quick demo of it, it was very interesting. While waiting for my bus to arrive and pick up myself and the other passengers, I was approached by a group of russians who were visiting the states and had come to Boston to watch the 4th of July festivities. They wanted a picture with me, how could I say No?! So I took a picture with them it was fun, they were happy, I was happy, I wished them well and off they went to enjoy their day.

The Bus arrived and I got on, and proceeded to get comfortable for my 4+hour journey. The route was scenic, and we only made 1 or 2 detours along the way. Arriving in NYC was great and watching all the sights as we drove past was great. I arrived shortly before 1 P.M. @ Penn Station and began to wander around and take in the sights. Soon after Blue Star arrived and we were off.  We stopped off at a few places, a coffee shop and headed back to her apartment so she could show me a few things. We hung out for a while, caught up on what we’ve missed and just wandered around.  Her apartment was cool, and I approve.

That is all for now.
