Chelsmore Apartments New York City

... view of the park outside & fronted by a pool of still water, through bright airy corridors filled with Roman & Greek sculpture to soaring totem poles from Polynesia and self-portraiture by Van Gogh, its wonders seemed endless. The building itself was as much a work of art as that which it contained, the use of light & architecture masterfully designed to maximise the glories on display. If there's a better museum in the world then I'd love to see it.

At about ...

... but Vanity was super skinny, and tall. She didn’t have to worry about keeping off weight. And no matter how hard she tried, Kaliet could never be as skinny as her sister.

They headed up a path they found after wondering around the garden. While on the path they ran into a civilian, who with a shocked face dropped to the ground bowing.

“That’s weird,” So said Vanity ...

... and I will always be grateful for that however I cannot say I want to go back. Broadway shows and wonderful restaurants do not really make up for what it stands for today. Iknow that New Yorkers are very protective of the culture and roots that Newyork stands for them and I can appreciate the history of the city, but how does the city honor that now ? I guess I would have to hang out with a New Yorker for a while and see it through their eyes !

... blown our $100 a day budget by 11am. We hit the Toys R Us carousel, to the top of the Rockefeller center to view the architectural delights of this city, ate in a cool diner and then collapsed in Central Park (that bit was free). Not quite used to the friendly and forward ways of the New Yorker that whilst sunbathing peacefully with the children in Central Park a student came over to say 'how cute we all looked and that it ...

... already then I do not want to burden. But the religion if Islam is very beautiful and is misunderstood by many Americans. There is many beautiful religions in world, and I hope you let me tech you about them.

After sending this message I will be out of contact for 6 week period. I am attend youth training in libya for islam following. Please do respond when you have chance. I cant not wait until we become the best of friends! Bye!

Ended up spending a few more days here than planned to try to fit everything in - You could spend years here on not see the half of it. managed to pack in a fair few of the sights - Met, MOMA and Ellis Island were particular highlights - but it's the sheer ...

... them all the more delicious. The ballet dancer and I were joined by an old yogi who was also following Amma around and who was a wealth of spiritual insight and so we all ate together and shared satsang. This went on until 6am when it was time for setup. It wasn't "staff only" when it came to setup however and I began with assisting the sound crew with some stage and sound setup. When I was no longer needed there I ...

... at more and sinister looking cars were motoring over to us. I use the term 'restaurant' loosely, as it was really just a kitchen with bullet proof glass protecting it from us - the public. We entered and stood in the bare area near a couple of other people in big black Michelin man coats. Couldn't have been more hardcore and less friendly. We were asked for money by a guy who said he saw us from his car and came in, but I was kind of irritated that the guy used a ...

I flew on an extremely delayed JetBlue flight. I sat at RDU for 6 hours. Whats worse is that Kelly was flying on a different flight out of Nashville. She was had to sit at JFK waiting on me! After the ordeal was over Jet Blue gave everyone on the flight a $50 off the next JetBlue ticket. So I guess Jet Blue thinks my time is only worth $8 an hour. Long story short ...

... a few old-style newsstands along the way. Quaint, no? :D First stop was the Visitor Center, where we watched an interesting short film called 'Independence'. After the cool little movie, we traveled down to the building that housed the Liberty Bell, where, ironically, there were slave quarters discovered underground feet from the Liberty Bell! We made our way, weaving in and out of all the historical buildings, seeing many awesome sights along the ...
