Day 5

Well woke up this morning with my hip not feeling a whole lot better. We were just about to cancel the plans on going to Lower Manhattan but then we saw they had a shuttle that had a pick up down the street. We figured that would be the best idea to see what we wanted to see just without walking. $50 well spent let me tell you. The only thing we didn't see that we wanted to see was the 9/11 memorial. But with all the protest going on in NYC currently we decided not to even get off the bus. We did get off at the Statue of Liberty stop. Instead of taking the ferry to the island we took the Staten Island ferry which took us right by Lady Liberty. After arriving back from Staten Island we got back on the bus and took it all the way to Central Park. It was supposed to go by the United Nations Plaza but because of the Climate Summit all the roads near there were closed. So we drove through about 6 protest that we saw quite a few people getting arrested. We arrived in Central Park and walked a little walkway through a small portion of the Park and then headed back to the hotel to try and figure out what we wanted for dinner. There weren't many off the wall places on the way back to the hotel or around it, and also with how my hip was acting up we didn't want to walk too far. We decided that Olive Garden was the place to go. Tomorrow we are going to try and venture for breakfast and for dinner it's our one really nice dinner. Also I took Grandma to M&M World. She was so overwhelmed it was kind of funny. After that we came back and I did some homework... yes I did homework because I cannot fall behind in my classes. I am already going to have to go home and work my ass off on Spanish homework. Tomorrow is our Broadway show and then back to pack. WE HEAD HOME ON SUNDAY!!!!
