nyc two

i've just returned from four days in manhattan, during one of the largest snowstorms in quite a long time i'm told.  it was magical- unlike any other time i've visited- for the city that never sleeps, it was weirdly quiet.  i'm guessing no one was really sleeping but staying inside, away from the weather so it seemed like the city was maybe, napping- resting for the day after the storm.  it was a good thing because the morning following the blizzard, brought beautiful sunshine- central park was a snowy wonderland, full of sledders, cross country skiers, walkers, runners, skaters and even snowboarders. we walked and walked, people watched and stood staring at breathtaking art at the MoMA, looked in store windows, marveled at the giant tree, ate dinner in the east village- truly the list goes on. oh big apple- my love for you grows and grows.  being one with you makes me know that i am a city girl through and through.
