New York

Hello,
Long time no travel blog/ no travel.

I am in New York! I am currently trying to get my body adjusted after about 24 hours of flying with hardly any sleep. There was a fair bit of turbulence on the plane over, it was a bit scary! I am so so tired today and hungry! On the plane over, they did not organize my dairy free meal, so I only ate crackers and fruit the whole time. The flight from LA to NY was horrible!! We waited for ages on the plane before we even got moving and then circled the airport for ages before we got landing!! Then we had a train ride to Shane's friend Ange's apartment in Harlem. It was fantastic when Ange and Shane's old housemate Andrea met us at the train!
The apartment is really nice and close to everything. It looks really modern inside.
We all went out straight away to dinner at an italian restaurant with lovely fresh pasta - I had one with artichokes and chili and asparagus and baby tomatoes.
Then we went to Dizzy's jazz club which had a fantastic backdrop of the buildings at night. We saw Joe Lovano's Nonnet. It was awesome being in New York, at a jazz club, with fantastic music and a beautiful backdrop.... but I was just falling asleep lol.
I am still a bit of a zombie and having trouble waking up today.
looking forward to waking up properly and exploring.
love emily
