Today we did two Museums and central park - with a stop at Times Square on the way back to the hotel at 9pm ish.
Started off at the Natural History Museum and hung around with dinosaurs for most of the morning, along with a space show and avoiding of taxidermy animals (shudder).
Then hiked a bit through Central park, stopping to oggle here and there. The park is NOT flat like I thought. It has hills and low spots and rock outcroppings and bridges all over - and too much traffic. We were in a really pretty garden - with heavy traffic noise.
The Met. Other wise known as 'it's so big it could fit EVERY MUSEUM IN BALBOA PARK IN IT!' No, I'm not kidding. We have pitiful museums in San Diego. I was there for 4 hours - and I never even saw all of the 1st floor.
And on the way back to the hotel at 9pm, hey, let's do Times Square... It's not like our feet don't already hurt and all the lights will be on... which is really like Times Square Mall. It's more like an outdoor party down the middle of the street for several blocks. More like a long rectangle shape. And lots and lots of cops. You want a NYC cop? Got to Times Square. Basically, it's like San Diego's Gaslamp quarter during Comic Con.
OMG my feet hurt and I'm going to collapse now.
