East Coast Summer Trip (New York City) Day 6 2005

---

Day 6!

I arrived in New York and after an eventful jaunt to the hostel (a homeless lady gave me a rude tongue lashing on the subway!) The hostel was located on the north end of central park and I was to have my own room. I would hate to share my room with 50 other people! But hostels aren't as bad as I thought they were going to be.

I was able to make it the Museum of Natural History and the Planetarium. Both are a must on any list! There is plenty to see and do at these places. One can actually spend the whole day there and never get bored.

Afterwards I went home and was in bed by 8pm. I didn't want to be out late alone and in a strange town. Plus New Yorkers are crazy!
