Cruzin' the Green Mile
But last night, after The Roughriders won the Grey Cup; our first in 18 years, that is exactly what we did. What a night in Saskatchewan. Words are some how not sufficient to express the excitement in our province and for Saskatchewanians nation wide have for our team. But videos... they can tell the story. I've attached a few for your viewing pleasure. I apologize in advance if your ears hurt afterwards. There is lots of screaming.

Do you bleed green?

The End
It was beautiful, much like the cathedrals I had seen in Ireland, though a bit more modern. Something I'm not used to in American or Canadian cities, police officers everywhere. They were lined up every 10 feet around the cathedral. I've seen that in Mexico, Thailand and Vietnam, something you would expect there, but not here. Kind of weird.
Fifth Stop, Time Square. Talk about sensory overload. I've never felt so bombarded with advertising than I did there. Usually I am not affected by what I see on live or in print media. But something about that place made me crave Coke, chocolate and Corona. Molding young minds much?
Sixth stop, Radio City Music Hall, on the way to Rockefeller Center. I had miscalculated where we were, so we ended up having to backtrack a bit. The Christmas tree wasn't up yet, but the skating rink was! Maybe it runs all year... I don't know, but it was fun to see anyways.
"I believe thrift is essential to well ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business or personal affairs" ~ John D. Rockefeller
Last stop, Empire State Building.
We would've gone to the top, but there was a 90 minutes wait, and we only had 90 minutes before I had to catch the train back to the airport.
Total time to tour Manhattan, 6 hours. I had trouble keeping up with my aunt! She moves fast! A lot of ground was covered. In general, I think I like NYC, but only to visit. Too many people though. I obviously don't know much about the city, but it's history and origins seem very fascinating, so I'll have to learn. I'm sure I'll end up there again. Any one up for a girl's week away?
