Hi!

Here's a short report from my first day in NYC, Wednesday March 8th, International Women's Day.

Travel log bullet points:

* Woke early in my DC hostel top bunk, 5 minutes before the alarm went off and got a shower.

* Got breakfast and met Randy Pace, who sat down next to me. He turned out to be yet another photographer and photography teacher. We could only talk for a short while, since I had to get going so I wouldn't miss my train to New York.

* Had a relaxing train ride and got a cab to my friends' house on the Upper West Side.

* After chatting with my host, Michael, I went out on a photo walk.

* I started out walking north on Columbus Ave and turned left and passed The St John the Divine Cathedral on my way to Columbia University. I've never been there before and thought it was about time, this is my 6th trip to New York after all!

* Turned south and followed Amsterdam Ave and Broadway all the way down to 48th St in Midtown. On the way I passed the beautiful architecture of the Lincoln Center.

* Got the subway back for a nice dinner and chat with my friends.

Hugs,

Niklas
