Day 65: New York City


Spent most of today at the awesome Bronx Zoo. It's a huge zoo, with lots of woodland and parkland amongst the enclosures, but we managed to see most of it. New animals: duikers, okapi, congo peafowl, tinamous, hyraxes, mousebirds, quetzals, skunks, cane rats, jerboas, lorises, alligator snapping turtles. Really cool, modern exhibits - definitely recommended.
Went back into Manhattan - Steph hopped on a train back to Philly and I walked around Koreatown (a couple of blocks of 32nd St, really), looking for a karaoke place for tomorrow night.
Everything worth saying about New York City has already been said, so I'll just restate the obvious - it's enormous, busy, and doesn't slow down for anyone or anything. It's the dictionary definition of a metropolis.
