Goodbye to the Big Apple!

After 2 weeks in the Big Apple, finally back in Amsterdam - and it's good to be home! It's been an interesting time, I really enjoyed being in the States again, where everyone (yes - even New Yorkers) are friendly and very service-minded. It's a wonderful city, but a very busy one at that, and it's true, it really is the 'city that never sleeps'. Till we meet again.

Times Square

It's finally Friday! It's been a long week and long training! Went to Times Square to get tickets to "Phantom of the Opera" since it's one of the major musicals I've never seen. Tomorrow will be a shopping day- Macy's is around the corner and many other stores! Tonight is Sushi night- that should be nice change from all the Italian or I-talian food we've been having.

During a lunch break escape from Alcatraz, I saw this poster. Christmas is everywhere in New York, unbelievable! The training is tough- long days, but it's great to be in the city that 'never sleeps'. Had a lovely meal yesterday (American-Italian cuisine) in the East Village - there are so many fabulous restaurants here!
