New York!

It has been a pretty long time since I last posted and this has been for a multitude of reasons. First I was ill, I had a horrendus cold/flu/cough/chest problem, which really knocked me out for a little while and as it happened around the time of my birthday, I didn't get much chance to stop and fight it so it lingered around. Secondly, it was my 21st birthday on 1st June, yay!! Lots of celebrating had to be done so I was partying and doing family stuff and being quite ill at the same time. Then, the day after my birthday for my summer holiday I went to New York for 11 nights, which was fantastic and I have only really just got back!

I thought I would do a post on New York, which will hopefully be interesting seeing as though I haven't blogged in a while. I very much intended to be very blog orientated in New York, I had a new camera in tow as well and I wanted to review vegetarian restaurants and ethical boutiques, but I didn't stick to this. I'm just not disciplined enough and when someone puts tasty food in front of me, I eat it before taking photos. So one round up post is unfortunately all I can post! I did love it and I will have to go back soon to document the best veggie and ethical places in New York.

  4. Your pictures of New York look great! I love it there... and was more successful finding veg food there than in other cities. Was it the same for you?
