The first day in New York City is almost behind us. It has been a long day since we arrived at the foggy JFK airport at 5:30AM ET. We got to our hostel, YMCA West Side, around 7AM without knowing that the check-in would be no earlier than 2:30PM. So, there we were with three over-weighted suitcases and three full carry-ons... Fortunately we got our bags to a storage room for the time we would be spending wondering around the city. We ended up walking for a good 7 hours and taking a few pictures of the really foggy city. We thought of going to the Bronx Zoo, 'cause their Wednesdays are free but decided to postpone it 'til next week. :) Walking around almost got us to the Eyewitness News!
After we finally got our teeny tiny room, we both just crashed and slept for a good 3 hours. Miko got both of us up and ready to go to dinner. We walked up to 80th street and walked into a restaurant called Chirping Chicken - finally a place where we could get sweet potato fries! Yummy.
So, as you can tell the first day has been pretty slow though we have still done a lot of walking. Miko just got back from the store, we'll have a relaxed night and get ready for the next 8 days of walking, walking and some more walking!

J & M
