My life in NY

High above NYC

It was a perfect day for a helicopter ride so me and Dad decided to spend half an hour hovering above the city.

The old and new Yankee stadiums

It's strange flying to Portland, it takes nearly six hours to get here from New York which is virtually enough time to get back to the UK. Although in many ways despite being in the same country it is like another world.

Right now I'm sat outside Peet's Cafe in what should be rush hour and it's fantastically quiet, relaxed and just perfect fall weather. It's kind of hard to get a handle on as a city and as an area in a strange way it feels more like a village then a city. It's got quite a cool creative vibe going on and some great stores and bars.

Defiantly the kind of place you want to come for a vacation, if only I wasn't here for meetings :(

Yankees

With their new home nearly complete we wanted to make sure we got to see the Yankees at their historic stadium before it gets torn down - Unfortunately they lost to the White Sox.

Birthday week

Somehow my birthday managed to last all week - starting at the NASCAR race and coming home to find Jill had arranged for Phil and Jon to pay a surprise visit. We went to a Mets game, saw Bloc party, watched a great comedy show at the comic strip live and went to Jones Beach for the day on Sunday.
