I Heart NY
We’re here. There’s so much to do and see. Mostly it has looked like this – W chasing pigeons and us trying not to lose him. It was a long trek to get here – two attempts to take off and two stints with mechanics on the plane trying to fix things before they gave up and took us back to the terminal. (Poor W: after over an hour on the plane he thought we were in New York, and we were back at the gate in Calgary.) Eventually they put us on another plane, we arrived close to midnight and had to navigate the subway from New Jersey, in the dark and drizzling rain with our luggage and plenty of post-soccer game revellers. But when we woke up we were in New York, and I’ve been on the verge of tears all day over the New Yorkness of it all. Mostly I’m already plotting a way to get back.
I went for dinner tonight with a bunch of food bloggers from Babble, all of whom I instantly loved. (I got on the wrong subway, trying to be all urban-know-it-all, and wound up uptown instead of downtown. But that’s another story.) And now I’m having trouble transferring my photos (this one’s from my phone) and my computer keeps freezing. And it’s 1 am, and we have another long day of checking stuff out tomorrow. So I’ll keep you posted.
PS. Today: Times Square, Central Park, the Natural History Museum. Pizza at Ray’s.
