New York New York


Hididdlyho Friendorinos
It's a me Emmmmily..and I'm taking over our final American blog. We finishing up our last night of three in Sunny NYC...and what a three days it has been. Matt and I enjoyed ourselves cruising the subways and strolling the streets of the busy city.
Our first day was highlighted by a visit to the Met to see an ancient egyptian temple, some pretty radical armor & weaponry, and some creepy paintings of charubs and royals. We followed that experience with a relaxing and FREE ride on the Staten Island Ferry...I highly recommend it.
Yesterday it rained, but that didn't stop us Northwesterners. We sought out a delicious pizza joint and found comfort in the warmth of the NYC public library, just as the poor souls in Day After Tomorrow had. It was incredible to be inside that building (not because of cinematic associations) and admire it's beautiful architecture - appreciate the history. So, we recharged our batteries and went off to BROADWAY where we caught Spring Awakening (Thanks again David)..We followed our theatrical romp with some original NY cheesecake and called it a day.
Today, not much of note - I'm not even sure how much of what I've been wrirting is either - we met up with Mike Sullivan which was a total treat and spent the rest of the day lounging in Prospect Park....reading Harry Potter. I admit it, snicker if you like but it's the last book and I won't have the ending ruined for me. Speaking of, I'm 100 pages away from the end....and with my nerd flag waving high, I retreat to the couch.
