New York Trip!

  So, a while back I went to NYC and here are some pictures that I took while there.  Of course, I am starting with the Mount Olympus (Empire State Building).  It only seems right.

 
  They aren't the greatest shots , but they still are pictures of the Empire State Building.

  Now, I am going to show the pictures from the Empire State Building.  I went up at night so keep that in mind.





 
 
  I have to say, it was great walking around on top of the Empire State Building.  It was a surreal moment, and even though I didn't look like I was freaking out that much, I was going completely crazy on the inside.  All I keep thinking was, "This is Percy's city.  I am in his city.  I am standing right under Mount Olympus.".  I also started thinking about the giants walking through the city and war raging on, on the streets down below.  It was wonderful.  Here is a pic of me at the top of the Empire State Building:
 
 
  Like I said,  it doesn't look like I am freaking out, but I was going insane on the inside.

  Here are just two Empire State Building things that they had inside the Empire State Building.
 

 
 
  Next up is Central Park.  I don't have a lot of pictures of Central Park because I didn't really go walking trough.
 
 
 











    And here is the Lincoln Tunnel.  It was going to be unguarded because of a lack of People, but the huntresses showed up and saved the day.

 



 
  And here is the Brooklyn Bridge where Travis Stoll and half of the Hermes cabin were stationed.



 
 
  You may have noticed that I don't have a PJO shirt on.  I do have one, but didn't know that we were going to be going to New York, so I didn't pack it.  :(  I really wanted to wear  it, but oh well.
 
  Some of you may be familiar with a place called Dylan's Candy Store.  It is the candy store that Conner and Travis  Stoll wanted  to "shop" from when the city was asleep.  Well, I don't have any pictures, but I did go there.  It was a really cool candy store.
 
  If you have been to or live in New York, let me know in a comment below!
