I started my morning by going to China town and sort of embracing the culture and it was great! It made me much more excited about going to China. I got to bargain and have people harass me and it reminded me of India and made me miss it much more! here are some pictures from China town
after china town i headed over to little italy and st marks place where was a retro place. it was really cool to see all these places and see the people in their element it was very cool. i was sad that the day could not last longer.
after all that i went to Rockefeller center, grand central terminal, NBC head quarters. after all of that I went to St. Patricks and it was BEAUTIFUL the best looking church i have probably ever been too! it was great and i loved it. while i was walking away i ran into a nun (and if you know me i am fascinated by nuns and i get excited) but i controlled myself and did not talk to her. she talked to me. haha she went to hs at the school i coached swim at a couple years back and so we had a lot of things in common from back home it was really cool and random. God definitely knows how to show up randomly :) buttttt we walked like 6 blocks about mission work and her becoming a nun and she got to meet mother Teresa! and so we talked about her and all of the things that i find so amazing. she lives in a convent in NY and has been a nun for 18 years. she works specifically with single mothers with new borns and helps them out during those first few months. she was seriously amazing and then her and I got to pray together and she showed me around her chapel and the convent. it was really cool and such a random experience but i loved it!
at the end of the night I saw a show on Broadway. called Rain: a Tribute to the Beatles. excellent. I recommend it to everyone. it was a lot of fun and the closest I will ever be to a Beatles concert!
tomorrow is my last day in NYC. sad to leave but excited to be back home and plan the next adventure
with much love,
Ashley
