visitor. #5 (before koks, not shown in pics)

Strange how I seem to do all the touristy stuff only when people come to visit... In the last 2 weeks or so, I've traipsed over more of Manhattan than I had over the previous 9 months or so that I've been here. Or, at least, hit more of the general tourist hotspots... It's pretty amazing how much ground one can cover in 2 days here- (as featured) Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Guggenheim Museum, Central Park... Also covered but not shown, Grimaldi's Pizza, Ground Zero, Century 21, Belgian Bar, Washington Square, 5th ave and Lexington Ave. I love it when the sun's out! :)

Goodbye toyboy! Till the next time we meet again (prob another few years later...) It was fun having you as an escort for a week in new york.... hahahahaha. Who knew we would have so much in common? Same hair gunk, same havaianas, me picking the same tee shirt that u picked a few days ago out of the whole vintage store, spotting Cielo in the MPD brochures at the same time... So, who's next?
