Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Four)

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. I recently went on holiday to New York and over the next few weeks I'm going to share all the cool things I did while I was there. Since I was there for a week, this is going to be a seven part series, a post for each day. Thursday was short and sweet.

Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Four)

Thursday was a very chill day. We got up late, and got the Staten Island Ferry over the river.

We did get the 11am service, but luckily for us there were no illegal alien enhanced weapons deals happening. although it would have been cool to have seen Spiderman!

It was a very busy journey, but it was cool to see the city from the water, and see the Statue of Liberty, albeit from afar.

I didn’t realise how huge it is, I’ve seen the replica in the Luxembourg gardens in Paris, but that one is pretty small, and the one on the Seine is also smaller than this one.

It’s a big monument, and very impressive and even though it would have been nice to go to the island, it was cool to see it as it’s such an important statue. Have some pics from the journey:

A nice view of Manhattan

The Statue through the barriers

The rest of the day was spent at the Staten Island Mall, wandering the shops, and dinner at Applebee’s :

Then we came back on the ferry, to a thunderstorm and heavy rain, so we ran to the station and back home.

A kind of boring day to describe, but it was pretty fun and nice to just relax a bit.

My post for Friday will be up next week, so make sure to follow my socials to keep updated!

Curly Cooks: Booboos

Since we're all stuck inside for lockdown, many people are currently baking to pass the time, including me! So, Curly Cooks is a series on the various items that I'm making while on lockdown, most of which will carry personal stories. Today's recipe is one I invented as a child: Booboos. Curly Cooks: Booboos Jump to recipe When I was younger, I used to enjoy watching my mum bake all manner of sweet treats for my brother and me. At maybe three years old, I decided to invent a recipe of my own, which ended up being named Booboos. Now as a three year old I obviously didn't understand the necessities and intricacies of baking, so I just wrote a bunch of random baking words that I knew and my mum interpreted it to create these biscuits. This is my original recipe card: Shocking penmanship and spelling I know, and a flawless method. If you can't read my handwriting (unsurprising tbh), it says Resapy for Boo...
