Day 5 – New York

Woke up at 6AM and rushed to get in line for Saturday Night Live tickets. Unfortunately, there was construction on the subway and it made me change my route. There were hundreds of people already in line when I got there, some there most of the night. I did get a ticket though!

I headed back to the subway with the goal of getting on the Staten Island ferry. However I missed a stop and ended up in Brooklyn. I figured this would be a good time to walk across one of the world’s oldest suspension bridges. After this walk I finally made it to the ferry and took that across the bay, past the Statue of Liberty. Next on the list was the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of the largest art museums in the world. It took me five hours walk through. I still don’t feel 100%, I feel tired and a little sick. I walked through Central Park back to my room. It was warm today so it was a like rush hour of people walking, running, and riding bikes through the paths.

It was time to try to get into Saturday Night Live, of which I had a stand-by ticket for the dress rehearsal at 8PM. Everyone has to get there about 7PM and they were able to fill about 40 seats with stand-by people, I estimate. Unfortunately, I was number 88. So plan B is to go to sleep early. Also, I think I used that free wireless too much because they are now blocking me. I’m using the official signal in the lobby now.
