Statue of Liberty

NEW YORK. As I'm doing this US trip on my own it's sometimes just my suitcase and me. After I already saw a bit of VA, DC and PA, my next stop was NY. I arrived during the day time. That's what I always try to arrange at places that I don't know well. My night blindness starts with the dusk.
I stood in the main hall of the Grand Central Station and planned to visit a friend downtown. I struggled to walk from one side of the hall to another. There were so many people crossing my way from every direction. My tunnel sight made me feel very insecure and I walked more slowly.
Anyway, I finally arrived at "The Setai" and went to the roof top of the building with my friend. The sun was out. When I saw my shadow on the floor I thought of facing my disease. I accepted it, turned around and enjoyed the wonderful view over downtown Manhattan. I mean, I can still see it.. Cheers!
