Just took the subway to Harlem. Someone suggested I take the tour bus, but Janet the hostel clerk who lives there hates the busses of white people driving through the black neighbourhoods. So I decided to walk around. It was a change of scene, like you might expect 99 percent of the people there are black. It was bright and sunny compared to the shady times square and downtown where I vistited before. I took a quick picture of the Apollo and continued on to Yankee Stadium.
Yankee Stadium was smaller than I expected. I only got to see the outside because I could not get tickets for the Boston vs NY series which is extremely popular here. I took a picture of my self next to that "bat" thing near the entrance wearing a Saskatchewan Raiders T-Shirt (for Brad).
On the subway on the way back (it's a long ride), a guy started making weird noises and went into a full seizure in my car. Not sure what to do when this happens - people were trying to help by keeping him upright... probably the best is to leave him on the ground - OTOH he was foaming at the mouth. I held the doors open until someone went and got the police from the street above. I was in shock afterwards and felt like throwing up. Because the train was stopped there I walked back to the hostel from 55ish and Lexington. The Lexington street was closed to cars and there were tons of security people because apparently Bush and Kerry are in town.
