New York City

• is smelly
• is loud (but comfortingly so, since I live in a noisy urban area in my town)
• is yellow (I've never seen so many cabs)
• is always under construction
• has amazing food delivery services, which Annika and I took advantage of often after collapsing on our beds in heaps of exhaustion
• is hot...not as hot as Houston, but maybe more humid??! (can't believe I'm saying that)
• is virtually unexplorable when it rains (okay maybe I'm a big baby about getting wet)
• is full of gorgeous buildings
• ...and gorgeous parks big and small
• puts everything right at your fingertips
• is the capitol of fashion
• is unforgettable, I want to be back already!!
