In My Heart, New York

Going to New York is in everyone's bucket list, I believe. It's been in my list since 2008, and finally in 2012 I was able to go there. Not just went there as a tourist, but actually lived for almost a month. 

 

 Cold in the fall; colder in winter: I went around carrying a cup of coffee all the time.

The Mertz library at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. Going around the conservatory, I was such in awe that some common plants I used to see in my mother's flower pot back in the Philippines were prized exhibited items there. 

Have we Met? 

Along Central Park, 5th Avenue Side. Someday... 

 One of the lions of the NY Public Library.

St. Thomas Catholic Church. It was in New York where I first attended my Catholic mass in the US. 

The New York University. 

 Times Square. Blaring lights.

Me, inside the Mertz Lib.
