Well, I write to you at the end of my time in New York, I leave in just a few hours. I've had a fantastic time - its lovely coming back to a city and being able to explore away from the main sights (having said that I did a fair amount of that too). Highlights of the trip (apart from seeing Kathryn) have been: hanging out in Central and Prospect parks, going to Brooklyn Heights to see the view of Manhattan famous in the movies and pretending I'm in a Woody Allen film, walking across Brooklyn Bridge, going to the opera and pretending I'm in Moonstruck (yes there's a theme), drinking at the 'Hog & Pit' - the best, and in my opinion most underrated bar in New York, and last but not least seeing thee Ghostbusters fire station. Awesome.
I also went to Boston for the weekend which was a serene break from the hustle and bustle of NY. I learnt a lot about American history and learnt about the kindness of strangers - in particular a couple I got chatting to in a restaurant who insisted on paying for my dinner to welcome me to America. On the same night I saw some fantastic improvised comedy and got drunk with lots of old men in a bar. Nothing dodgy before my wayward friends start asking.
I now have to don my huge rucksack and smaller rucksack and head to the airport. I'm just 2 short flights from Buenos Aires (ok about 20 hours away but I'm trying to be positive). See you on the other side.

Hmmm I wouldn't get too excited about the literary content my love, but will do my best for you. I'm being very sensible so far and have only had a couple of beers with some Brazilian intellectuals in the hostel. xx
