Farewell, America.

Today I went to New York City with my grandparents.  We drove through Staten Island and Brooklyn because I had never been there.  They were interesting but not much to see from the highway.  After walking around the Brooklyn Bridge State Park we headed into Manhattan to go to The Metropolitan Museum and to get some Chinese food.  The Met had amazing exhibits and we were in there for a few hours and still didn't see everything. After checking out the South Street Sea Port we headed into Chinatown for dinner.  After dinner I went to go take pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge then we left for home.  On the way back we stopped at Liberty State Park to see a view of Manhattan from across the river.  This is my last post from America.  Next time you will hear from me I will be hopefully in Florence.

Some pictures from today.

New Jersey

So, I've been in New Jersey since Wednesday and the weather has been really nice.  My grandparents went and saw some lighthouses and drive down the shore on Thursday.  Yesterday my grandfather and I went to Allaire State Park, which used to be a steel mill community. Today we went to Gardens of Sculptures and Princeton (which is an amazing campus).  I saw where Einstein carved his name in a table at Yankee Doodle Tavern.  Here is a gallery with some pictures from a few of the places we went.  Tomorrow I head to New York City and then Monday I get on a plane for Italy.

The Beginning

Hey everybody,

     This is just a test blog to make sure everything is working before I depart for Italy.  My goal is to keep up to date info and photos of my travels throughout Italy and hopefully a few other countries.  Here are some photos from the past year that I just wanted to share. I will be posting photos on MobileMe until I find a better way to post a lot of pictures.  I hope you enjoy.
