Day trip to new York city

It was aggressive to take an overnight bus from dc to start a 15-hr visit of NYC. The bus was 1 hr early and arrived near penn station at 3:30 am. Me and my companion were very sleepy so we stopped by a hotel lobby to wait for the daylight to start our visit.

Time square looked refreshing in the early morning. We bumped into fox 5 morning news shooting and enjoyed free yogurt after acting in the background. I had a photo taken with a weather anchor.

We ran across a charity run in the central park on our way to the metropolitan museum. There are always so much to see in the museum

The afternoon highlight was the free ferry to Stetson island to see the statute of liberty. We walked to the running bull near the wall street for good financial fortune (which i need more in this economy). The weather was very cool and pleasant for the whole day. It was a pity that we missed Chinatown this time due to the express train skipped the stop.

I met my friend near time square and chatted for 1.5 hrs, then I saw the end of gay pride parade, walked via the street festival along the avenue of Americas, and enjoyed a concert in the Bryant park before I jumped on the 8:30 pm bus back to dc. What a day!
