New York = fabulous.

I conquered NYC. And managed to do it without meds, thank you very much. It helped that I saw and experienced most of it from a double-decker bus and ferry, but I still did it.

I did not get to see any Broadway musicals (it didn't fit in to plans very well, was horridly expensive, and I hated Times Square so much that the thought of lingering there to try to grub for cheap tickets made me want to cry. Perhaps once it's closed to automotive traffic, it'll be more manageable (ha!)), nor any of the museums, so that will have to wait until next time.

I took 569 pictures. The majority of them are crap. Taking pictures from a bus means that I have lovely pictures of stoplights, and people's heads as we were jolted around. The rest are exposed badly as I moved from shade to bright sunshine and didn't always remember to correct.

Sam's baby is delicious. Seriously contemplated sticking her someplace in my luggage, but then realized that since it was all carry-on, I'd be discovered before I made it very far.

All in all, a fantastic weekend. Too short as always.

This weekend, I am visiting Susan and her own delicious child, Alice, and we are finally, finally going to go country dancing. Susan has also arranged a date for me (!!) with a guy who is excited about the prospect of english dancing(!?!!!), which sounds too good to be true, but I am optimistic nonetheless. And on Sunday night/Monday morning, my parents arrive in town for a week's vacation. Which means I should have spent tonight cleaning rather than fussing with my pictures, eh?

Looks like you had a great time in NYC and probably saw a lot more than I did. Love the pictures!

Oh! I love the pics of Sam and her baby! So fun to see her in her new role. I'm so glad you enjoyed New York. It's funny that I'm such the city girl and have never been there and yet you now have. I expect a full report next week on the man who enjoys english dancing.
