NYC

Hey there everybody, just your friendly neighborhood Cade. I've been leaving the posting up to Kristi lately, but decided that I'd try and contribute every once in a while. My externship in DC with Arent Fox has been going really well. I can't believe that I'm done in just two more days, it's gone by so fast. I'm excited to see what the next firm experience will be. Anywho, we had a great time in NYC this past weekend. We took the Chinatown bus from DC to NYC and back. We left at 3:30 am on Saturday morning, and it's like a 4-4.5 hour trip. So we had a full day Saturday, Sunday, and left Monday at like 4 pm. Our bus broke down on the way home, and we had to wait for another one, which then took a detour into the ghettos of Baltimore to drop off one person. It was kind of weird, but just part of the whole adventure I guess. We got a 72 hour pass on the double-decker, open top buses around NYC, so that was awesome to see the whole city like that. Our hotel was a couple blocks from Time Square, across the street from Gershwin Theater (where Wicked is, but we didn't luck out with the ticket lottery the three times we tried). Here are some pics from our trip.
