Katelyn and Gregory Haskins find their way through—and around—the world
Seeing New York was definitely a priority on our planes, trains, and automobiles trip. I mean, how could Katie see any more of the world without first seeing the Big Apple? But she’d have to wait first. After arriving at Penn station, we had to take the subway out to Brooklyn to check into the hotel, then back into Manhattan at Rockefeller Plaza before she could catch her first glimpse of the city. She was mildly excited, to say the least.
Our plans to see Charles Bridge at dawn somehow fell through with an unfortunate alarm-clock ‘malfunction’ at 5:30. Instead, we managed to roll out around noon (literally, we were quite stuffed from breakfast). We spent the afternoon at the Castle Hill complex, careful not to pay any admission fees (see also: cheap). Contrary to our initial observations, Prague was every bit as hot as Italy and we felt it today.
