#tbt New York, 2000

I went to The Big Apple in April of 2000, a family holiday with my parents, sister and aunt. Amazing weekend. It just happened that then British heavyweight boxing champ Lennox Lewis was taking on American challenger Michael Grant that weekend, and we found ourselves outside Madison Square gardens while the fight was taking place.

The security guard would not let us in.

I've done some digging around and found a few souvenirs from the trip, so I figured I'd insta a few of them and upload them in a few Throwback Thursday posts. Here's the first one.

I realised here that I still had a fear of heights. The observatory of the WTC was one flat floor with huge windows, and the edges of the floor dropped down into seating benches so that your knees were almost against the glass. There's a picture of me somewhere where I'm looking back and smiling, pretending I'm not totally shitting myself.
