My good friends know me well. For my birthday, four of us (we each live in different cities) converged in NYC for a fun weekend. I have many memories of feeling slightly scared by NYC. It always seemed so huge and overwhelming. After living in some of the world's major cities for about four years throughout the last six years, NYC no longer feels scary! Instead, it felt really good to be walking in a city again. And after some cities I've lived and visited, it was delightfully easy to navigate the grid pattern streets.
We went to see the Lion King on Broadway, which was a very special experience. I love Africa so much and after growing up on Rogers and Hammerstein musicals, I will always love a good song and dance routine.
It was such a fun mini-break. I took the bus, which was a rather lengthy 5 hours, but it was so much nicer than driving. I was back to walking once I was in the city. It was a little crazy because of the St. Patrick's Day celebrations and parades, but overall that added to a rather festive feeling for the weekend. The city went green in a new way!
