Up High on the High Line

Well guess who came to visit me…LEAH! (aka my roommate from Spain).  We spent a Saturday evening and Sunday exploring the city with her cousin who lives here.  Spending time with Leah is nothing short of refreshing.  She has such a wonderful view on life and makes friends with literally everyone she comes in contact with.  For example, we were at an antique store and next thing I know she has discovered that one of the sales people wants to sell her figs and is calling her contact at Whole Foods to connect the two.  From delicious food to antique stores to yoga to chocolate to bookstores, it was an action packed weekend.  However, I figured I would just give you a little glimpse of it through our adventures on the High Line.
Now for those of you who don’t know, the High Line Park runs along the Hudson River from 10th to 33rd.  It was old rail tracks that were turned into a park, completed in June 2009.  The elevated walkway is complete with natural flowers, grasses, and contemporary art.  Check out the website to learn even more.  
When you are with Leah, it is just a given that you trust everyone.  So, without even thinking we handed our fancy cameras over to a group of three guys and ran down the steps for them to take our picture.  However, since I was with Leah, it all turned out just fine.  In fact, it turned out better than fine it turned out fantastic! The guys proceeded to do an entire "jumping" photo shoot of us and are now our new friends.
