Random Scrap:
The next time I fell asleep was the subway heading to Wall Street. I woke up in Brooklyn and ended up walking by to New York by the bridge. I was going to spend my first night in New York at a hostel close to Harlem. It wasn't too bad apart from a distinct smell and the sounds of human bodies. The next day I was moving to Hilton just opposite of the former site of the World Trade Center. This is where Tommy joined me and we moved to our room on the 30th floor overlooking what was now a concrete whole left over from the buildings. Tommy was tired and needed to sleep so we didn't get to see the Empire State Building until late at night. Of course, I did not find out what happens to the ducks in winter. With Tommy gone I boarded a morning bus to Philadelphia. I had the Philly cheese and walked to the site where Tom Hanks used to work as a lawyer. I woke up to a humming of air conditioning and the sight of cloudy skies outside. My head hurt from all the wine I had a night before.
