For those of you who don't know, a friend of mine from Martinique came into town last Wednesday so I have been busy running around NYC showing her the sites. We have been doing a lot of stuff which is cool since this is my "staycation". I am still mourning my trip to Colombia that was planned for last month but you know being pregnant and all, I couldn't really justify the health risk or the cost. So I will have to postpone my spanish immersion course for another time. I know that Colombia (as far as I know) will always be there and even though some things aren't exactly planned, they are part of a "bigger" plan that we can not always understand. I am going to try to come home earlier than I have been these days and write up an official blog entry. In the meantime please peruse some photos from Sunday's Urban Arts Festival in Clinton Hill, sponsored by BAM and Afro-Punk. ENJOY!
Sorry that last one is sideways, my friend's camera doesn't put them right side up when taking vertical pics I guess. weird... Right now we are getting ready to go to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, probably my least favorite touristy sites in the NYC area. I am REALLY not looking forward to visiting this tourist trap but oh well, that's what friends are for, right? LOL! I am kinda sorta going to slow it down after today's activities. I am pulling the pregnant lady card. Walking all over NYC can wear a sister out. I swear the baby is getting a workout and is pretty much taking all of my food. I think everything I eat is going directly to the baby because I haven't put on a pound in like 2 weeks. Which is cool because I was afraid that once I crossed over into the 3rd trimester, I was going to EXPLODE! I am trying to look cute for the baby shower, not bloated! Anyway, let me sign off so I can face my destiny with this freaking Statue of Liberty cruise bullshit!!! At least after today, I know the worst tourist stuff is over, we did the Empire State building the second day my friend was here; it doesn't get any worse than THAT! Guggenheim museum and random shopping is not that bad at all. Later people!
