The Big Apple

This past week, my wife and I spent our time in New York City.  There are a few things about the city that I would like to record regarding our trip that made lasting impressions on me:

1.  Seeing a Broadway musical is a must!  Without a doubt, the greatest thing we did was attend Wicked at the infamous Gershwin Theatre.  Unbelievable!  At first, I had my doubts about whether I would be interested in the musical, to be quite honest.  Right before intermission, the lead sang Defying Gravity and I was blown away!  If you're going to do the Big Apple, you have to take the time to see a musical.
2.  The smells of the city made me appreciate the Midwest that much more.  Thank you, Indiana, for boasting distinct pleasant spring, summer, fall, and winter smells.  Thank you, New York City, for boasting one constant odor after the other.
3.  We got to go up into the crown of the Statue of Liberty.  What a view, what a great historical experience, and what a great experience overall!
