The Waterfalls
"Four giant waterfalls will be erected in New York for three months this summer in a public art project city officials hope will create $55 million in extra tourism revenue for the Big Apple.
The waterfalls, including one that will fall from the famed Brooklyn Bridge, are the brainchild of Danish artist Olafur Eliasson. Installation will cost $15 million, funded by private donations to New York's Public Art Fund."

Recents!

Well, there seems to have been a run on storks recently because I have become the proud friend of many new babies! My friends in Japan, Pam and Heath, had their baby, Zion, last month. My old family friend Shannon and her husband, Mike, welcomed their baby girl last week. My cousin David and his wife Ruth also had a baby girl named Lily. All babies are healthy and cute as can be!

Matt and Me, definitely no baby. Just a nice, recent photo taken on Matt's cellphone!

Nicole's wedding on Long Island

This weekend I was off to Long Island for Nicole's wedding. She was marrying her boyfriend of millions of years, Nick (yes, Nick and Nicole- they were clearly made for each other). They have been together since high school! The ceremony was lovely and then the reception was a lot of fun!

After the wedding, there were sparklers! Laura and Nicole's brother.

Mr. and Mrs. Lynch. And you will notice Nicole's tote bag- which already had her new initials- NML. So cute.

A lovely evening

The UN

Today I took a tour of the UN! And it was so cool!

American Museum of Natural History

Today I went to the AMNH, mostly to see the jewels, but also because it came highly recommended by my guidebook and some friends.

Jewels!

Brooklyn

In the afternoon, I wandered around Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo and then walked across the Brooklyn Bridge.





South Street Seaport

Brooklyn Botanical Garden

Yesterday I visited the BBG which is free on Tuesdays! It was absolutely gorgeous. Really, it was one of the nicest places that I have ever been. I would highly recommend it to any person visiting NYC.


A little of Japan right here in New York!

New York, New York

I am in NYC for the summer, living with Juliet and Freddy and interning at the New York Supreme Court. My internship does not start until Monday so I have been puttering around, seeing the sights and getting a feel for the city. This morning I walked around Tribeca and Soho and bought a guidebook (yes, I am a total tourist, sans fanny-pack). Juliet and I met up for some delicious Chinese dumplings in Chinatown for lunch. Then, I headed over to the City Hall area to see where I would be working. After that, I walked down to the Statten Island ferry (and rode it for the free beautiful views of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty), walked around Battery Park and then met up with Juliet again to see the Sex and the City movie. I am almost a New Yorker now :)
