It's my first overnight school trip, and we are in New York City. I prefer to call it the Glitter City, referencing the evening view of the world from the top of the Empire State Building. The Glitter City is a bustling hybrid. Old buildings, new buildings, silence, cacophony, selflessness, selfishness, dark, bright. The contrasts continue on.
I've never possessed a desire to make one of these many apartment buildings home. I love the natural grass and wild woodlands and fleeting critters and thunderous mountains and wide fields. I could never leave the country land.
Admittedly, this city does have its appeal. There's a constant buzz of activity. Everything is plentiful and within reach. Cultures are squashed together yet retain their unique personalities.
I have to leave any minute now. The ferry to the esteemed Lady Liberty should be docking soon. Enjoy Spring Break (and, if you're on the East coast, enjoy the snow)!
