I am a tourist!
So, I have decided to put my fear of going off alone and having this responsibility into a positive view. I was in Borders yesterday with friends and came across the travel section. Well, I though what the hey and bought Fodor’s See it: New York City guide. It has over 100 pages of listings and color photos of what I can find in New York. I know I am going to be very busy while I am there researching and holding interviews- but in that free time- I want to go adventuring. It would be lovely for people to come along- but even if not, I am going to bite the bullet and go by myself! 
So, here is a list of places I want to go and see (no in a particular order).
American Museum of Natural History- This museum look fabulous! It has over 40 grand exhibition halls. So if I do find some time to go, I am going to have to pick only a few things to see.
The Statue of Liberty- I know this is far away from where we need to be- but as a recent immigrant who lived the American Dream- I feel like I owe it to myself to see it!
The Jewish Heritage Museum- I say no more…
I also have chosen some neighborhoods that I really want to explore. Some could be possible homes for me in the future, and I really want to try and look at the city not only with a tourist mindset, but also like someone who lives there.
There are plenty of other places I want to go…but while skimming through the tourist book…the above choices just stuck out. Are there any places that you visted that I should consider checking out?
Well off to do some tech work for the course!
