My new place?

Hey hey!

Wow, I continually have so much to share with you all!  This afternoon I overheard a lady in the grocery store say, "If you're bored in Manhattan, than there is something wrong with you."  Honestly that could not be more true; there is always so much going on and so many things to do!

I went on my first apartment searching outing last night and I really liked one particular place.  I added a couple of pictures of the area, just to give you a 'feel' for the green space, quaintness and charm of the apartment 'township.'  The place is located between Murray Hill and the East Village (also close to Union Square) and just 10 blocks from my work.  I'd be living with another girl in a 2 bedroom apartment; she's really friendly and we share a lot of the same interests.  I didn't include too many pictures of the actual apartment because I feel a little invasive posting those on the blog, but hopefully you can get an idea from the other pictures.  The top photo would be the view from my bedroom.  The apartment is a part of a little  'township' called stueyvescant town, it has its own parks, fountains and green space for the residents.  It was so nice to be further 'downtown' (around 16th street), there are soo many young people; currently I live more uptown (around 95th), it's a wonderful area but has a strong population of families and older folk.

Another fun fact--last night I was having dinner with my aunt, uncle and cousins and New York's mayor, Mr. Bloomberg, was at the table right next to us!  What a small world.

I will probably be going on a three day hiatus from blogging as I work 3 12-hour days coming up, but I will be sure to report back this weekend.

Take care everyone!
