Ashley and Candice came to visit me on Thursday of last week. We spent the day on the south end of Manhattan seeing Ground Zero and the South Ferry but not taking it to the Statue of Liberty. We then went to Chicago (the play) and got to see Usher dance and sing. After that we toured around Times Square. The following day Ashley and Candice went to the today show and met Diane Sawyer (and Candice got interviewed by her, which will air some time this week). We spent some more time touring Times Square and went to the top of the Empire State Building. On Saturday we went to the Statue of Liberty and to Ellis Island and then on to Willie/Christine/Liz's show. Sunday we went Ice Skating at Rockefeller (or however you spell it) Center (Centre?) and to Grand Central Station. Then on to Central Park and to Lindy's Cheesecake shop, up to East Harlem and afterwards Madison Square Garden. I even found the little bodega that I spent every night in with Aaron, Maria, Mag. Conder, Megan Jones and whoever else was around when I was in New York back in Highschool. I also found the Pennsylvania Hotel where we stayed my junior year. Monday we walked around Greenwich Village, Chinatown, the Lower East Side and across the Brooklyn bridge before I escorted the ladies back to the airport. Overall, I had a wonderful time. I got to do a little of New York things that I would never have done had they not come to visit. I also got to spend five days with two beautiful girls. Five days, consequently, is the perfect amount of time for you to realize just how much you miss one of your best friends. Its also the perfect amount of time for you to adjust to seeing two beautiful ladies wake you up every morning and realize how much duller your apartment is after they've gone.

I had such a wonderful time with Ashley and Candice I just really wish they could have stayed longer. Thank you for taking me around New York, girls, you were a wonderful birthday present. I love you and miss you both already.

Here is a video Rachel showed me of a guy dancing all over the world.
