The Trip to Philly and New York.

Ok so when we got to Allentown we found that there was not a whole lot of work so we were asked if we wanted to go to Canada where there was a lot of work. So we said SURE. So we filled out the paperwork to get visas and stuff. Then we found out that we were going to be in Pennsylvania for a just a few more days. Well when the weekend came and sunday rolled around we went to church. Luckily for us it was a spanish branch so we both got to use our spanish that was cool. Then we went back to the apartment ate changed and headed out to go visit Philly and New York. Well we finally got to Philidelphia and went and looked at the Liberty bell and Independence Hall. It was cool to see some of the historic sites and we walked around and looked at a lot of sites. Then we jumped back into the car and we were off to New York. We got on the New Jersey turnpike and we made it to New York about 9 pm. We drove through the tunnel to get to Manhattan. Yep thats right we drove into New York. Luckily witht he GPS we made it to times square and parked about half a block from times square and we walked around and looked at everything and we went down to Central Park and then we went down to the temple. It was pretty cool to see what New York was like. Oh did I mention that it smelled like a big city. Well since I was there I decided to have a hotdog and some pizza since it was New York. Oh yeah the Hot dog was amazing I don't know what they put on it but it was good. The pizza was alright. Well I also bought a cool hat as a memento. Then we went back to the car and drove over to wall street and we got pictures with the bull and I got on top of it and got pics. Then we went to ground zero. And it really is a big big hole. Then we went and looked out at the statue of liberty. It was pretty but not as big as a I thought it was. After that we drove over the Brooklynn bridge and then we headed home. Or at least we tried to. We got stuck at the tunnels where they had it closed down to one lane and they had 6 lanes of trafic going into it. OH yeah did I mention that New York drivers are nutz and the Taxis are the worst. Well we finally got out of there and headed home we got back to our apartment around 3 am. And that was our adventure to New York.
