Now Time for the Finale
You are looking at a brand-spanking new graduate from Columbia. Well...almost. I finished up this month, but Columbia doesn't award degrees until mid-February. Eh, who cares, right? Well Washington does; the GAO won't let me start working until I have my diploma. So now I get a nice two month vacation of bumming off of family and Brandon.
When faced with leaving Manhattan, the obvious response is to forego packing in order to take a final tour of the island. And that is exactly what Brandon and I did in one day. You can view photos after
First, we visited Ground Zero. Unfortunately, it was zoned off with not only a grate but also a tight weave screen, making photography hard.
On our way to Wall Street, we ran into this poor analyst who had water inside his briefcase. Then we found a bull with huge testicles.
Then we stopped at Trinity Church where Alexander Hamilton is burried.
Next was Battery Park, where there is a ferry to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Unforunately, the lines were too long, but we did get to enjoy the art in the park.
From there we journeyed to the United Nations where I got a picture with my main man Boutros Boutros Gali and Brandon got a pic inside the Security Council.
We stumbled upon a Christmas light show inside of Grand Central Station.
Then it was onwards to Time Square, Radio City Music Hall, and Rockerfellar Plaza which were a complete crush.
And scene!
