    Awesome! Hey I was just in New York, for the first week of april. I never actually thought why it had the nickname the “big apple”. That was very interesting, i’ve past through New york at least a hundred times, but never actually went sight seeing. I do know in boston, I believe in New york too. The police officers ride horses. Its really cool to see them around. Also by the ocean in Massachuetts some beaches allow you to ride horses on.

    Thanks cola for commenting,
    You never go sight- seeing!? After I went and saw all that stuff in New York, well, it was awesome! We saw 2 Broadway plays (‘Momma Mia’ and ‘Blue Man Group’) went to the Stardust Diner, went to the Top of the Rock, and tons of other stuff. I couldn’t live there but everything was really cool.
    Unfortunately, I couldn’t ask the police officer this in the video coming out soon, but supposedly they use horses in the cities for crowed control. (Lots of people are scared of horses) The horses they train are really tall, so the officer can see exactly whats going on. Amazing stuff.

    Do you call this place the country? I know NC is a place with a rep. of being country but here in this area isn’t the country (countrycountrycounty, why don’t I just get all that out of my sytem.) But I do agree, a mix would be great. The city is so different from anywhere else, so many levels!

    Cola,
    OKaaay, it sounds as if you live in a place a bit more country than me! It’s strange though, you seem like a person who loves to explore the woods and stuff like that when I talk to you. Which city is in touching distance around here?
