New York New York

I have taken way too many trips to the northeast without going to NYC...so when I visited my boyfriend for spring break last month, I finally convinced him to take me!

Let me just say: I LOVE NEW YORK

It's so busy and large scale and industrial and urban and just plain awesome. Yes, like any city it has it's problems (cost of living is ridiculous, it's pretty much dirty everywhere you go, can be extremely noisy, timeless places like Broadway and Times Square have basically become shopping malls, you can feel like a nobody amongst eight million people, etc...)
BUT
It is also full of amazing architecture, you can do anything you want there and people will love it then call it art, some of the most amazing/eclectic food in America, more culture than you'll find anywhere else in the country, and you just feel kind of cool when you're walking around the streets of THE NYC

Travelings

So ya...it's been a while! Only three months this time >.<

A little over a month ago I went on a cruise with my best friends to Jamaica and Mexico.
We had a BLAST! It was a lot of fun and very relaxing, but it was also an eye opening experience being in another country for the first time. Being the minority in another country where you don't speak the language makes you really appreciate going home :)

Sunset from the deck






Walking trough what the Jamaicans call a "craft market"




One of the stalls had a guy selling wooden figurines. I snapped this with my camera on my shoulder because it upsets them if they see you taking pictures of their things.




The rod iron gates outside of the only nice house in Montego Bay


Local workers putting up a "fence"






Great electrical system...


This is the perfect representation of Jamaica: beauty amongst filth














The port we docked at in Cozumel, Mexico








El burro





Aye aye aye aye!!

The "Farm"

My dad just moved out to the middle of abso-freaking-lutely no where...

Why? No clue.

But at least it's got some ok scenery and an amazing view of the stars at night. And he's happy, which is all I'm worried about for the moment. Oh and getting all the crap from one house to the next. Oh and spending my weekends sitting outside trying to sell said crap. Oh and making sure he doesn't go broke buying golf carts and solar power.

No worries, ya?

The stairs on one of his many decks around the house. This one is sitting in the middle of nothing attached to nothing. But awesome nonetheless.

If you look closely you can see his bird feeding tray that he set up so he can watch the bagillion cardinals, blue jays, scissor tails, and finches that fly around at sunset.

He has this random fencing going throughout his property.
There's no real reason for it seeing as it blocks nothing off...

His "pond" for the aforementioned birds to bathe in. Of course he made it himself. And of course there will be seven more cascading down the hillside. Because it's my dad.

Junk In The Trunk

After my grandmother's funeral, I passed by a junkyard in the middle of nowhere. I kept driving but after one block I decided to turn around and hop the fence to see how many shots I could get of this rust infested place. I only got a couple pictures because I was afraid I would get eaten by a rabid dog or shot by a three-toothed hillbilly...
