Musem of Natural History
One thing about this museum is that it has ALOT of stuff. ALOT! If I wanted to and if I had more time I could probably spend a couple days there. The Central Park Entrance to the Museum was quite a sight itself, and once you get inside it's even better. A huge Dino skeleton sits in the middle of the huge entrance room. Once I find my map of the place I can give you a better idea of what I saw and how much there is too see. They had animals on display in their natural habitat, native peoples, weapons, crafts, EVEREYTHING.

A couple cool things that stick out right now are: The HUGE canoe, gigantic tree segment, a model whale which seemed to be done on 1:1 ratio. I realize it's crazy the amount of information that is out there. I didn't get to spend a lot of time there so I had to skim a lot of the descriptions and such. Spent just about the whole day there. Space center was really neat it had this huge dome thingy that took up the whole part of the building that it was in. Dinosaur, Climate Changes, Birds, Mammals, Indigenous People, butterfly etc. etc. etc. There is ALOT. The amount of detail, research, and setup that goes into some of the stuff there is amazing. It was really really cool and I wish I could have spent more time there but o well.

Central Park

Central Park is like assiaboine park in Winnipeg x100. There are alot of rock formations the crop up all over the park, and alot of really nice foot bridges. There is so much space to do whatever you want, people are jogging, playing soccer, horse carriage ect. There are barely and cars that go through the park whic is nice. Also there are a couple ponds or whatever with turtles fish ect. Makes the park look really nice. I could probably spend all day in that park and just watching everybody. And I only saw a fraction of the park. There were special spots all over that I didn't have time to check out. One thing I remember was a authentic Egyptian artifact in the middle of the park kinda odd...

But ya so much to do and so much to see there, I would defently go back any time and check out the rest of the park, and ponds. Would have been nice if i had roller blades

Trump Tower

Was walking down 5th ave. and came across Trump Tower! Couldn't find it yesterday...Didn't go inside but I did take some pics. Maybe I will check out the inside tomorrow and go to the Trump Ice Cream Parlour. But I doubt that I will have time for that.

Jordan and Nicolai fly in tomorrow!

*This of a random collection of thoughts. Some things I may have forgotten to add. This is more of a rough collection of thoughts on the day than a through journal. I have been writing down some keywords, and places to remind me to include them. I will probably re-write this every now and then until it is too my pleasing.
