Arriving in New York


I arrived in New York last night, to a beautiful view of the city lights in midtown out of the window of our room (picture to follow). Having been here last year I feel a lot more confident about knowing my way round - though sometimes incorrectly having turned the wrong way out of the suway station last night!

Myself, Haley the UK delegate and Andrea the Delgation Co-ordinator went to the Amish Market and got some amazing food - I really love being in a city that deals so well with my dietary requirements! Dairy free chocolate covered raisens and tofu with mushrooms might not sound like a great meal but I was overwhelmed by choice.

This morning we've been working on the agreed conclusions to have them ready to lobby the government delegations and we're shortly heading out to pick up the bits for the delegates training tomorrow (and do a little bit of sight seeing on the way).

What are we doing in New York? Advocacy.
