Hello All! Or no one, I guess it's not really appropriate to assume there will be an audience to read my blog, either way I will be recording my summer adventure in the big apple! Of course I move slow and it took me a few days to get this going; So I am going to recap for this first post since I have already been here for SIX days! I am living at the Herald Towers which is right in the heart of tourist central, which makes things even more crazy, and right next to the Empire State building. I have provided some lovely pictures of my new castle including one of our neighbor across the way, Jasper. His window faces ours and I'm positive he has declared us as his new best friends since he will prance around on his kitty tower and window seat whenever he sees us watching! I only have a few pictures to post since I have been decently busy since my arrival with exploring and working but more will come!
Speaking of work, the reason I am in NYC is to intern at the German design showroom here in America called Basler. I have interned here for a week and really love it! Although I have spent my time so far filing paper, creating excel charts, and tagging sample clothes, I am still thoroughly enjoying the opportunity, I have no problem doing busy work, I know my time will come! And I have been promised more exciting tasks as the buying season approaches... patience is key!
Other than work here is what I have done so far with my time:
- Times Square after dark.
- Learned that the best time to go out is when you do not want to because neither does half the rest of the city a.k.a. shop while it's raining.
- Concert in Bryant Park
- Made a friend in Martha, the adorable Hispanic worker at Basler. (She cleaned my white shirt that I stained, she is an angel)
- Metro to Brooklyn (which is now declared my future home)
- Grocery shopped at a store that carries normal bread an ramen noodles!
- Attempted to get into the bars with Alyssa: Fail. ( I'll get 'em Wednesday)
- Went two days without spending a dollar!

Hi Jess..You look great!! Seems like you are getting around and having a wonderful experience. You can't find "regular" bread,,but at least you have the Raman Noodles (um..yum??) Love your pics, you have gotten around in 6 days! Dang, can your "castle" be any dang smaller?, but I guess it fit's the purpose (of living like a troll)..Just remember if you see my man JBJovi walkin around tell him I say "HELLO" and for God's sake take a picture!! Gma says hello, she will probably never figure out how to post on here, so I will do the talking for her..ugh. Just know how proud we are that you are following your dreams, just make sure you follow with mace. We love you and miss you lots.... keep the posts coming, I will read and respond to every one of them...(not stalkerish) and remember, don't ship you bed, pants, or drawers!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo (Hi Jasper)
