The Empire State Building is red, white and blue.

This week it is New York. We started on Long Island - Rockville Centre to be precise - not the most exciting place on the grid. Last night we arrived in New York City. Our hotel is walking distance from Time Square so we spent the evening speed-walking through the throngs. So many people. It was interesting and not nearly as cold as you might think it would be - I actually ditched the coat finally - for a town that just suffered through a record breaking blizzard, it sure was light on the snow and cold.

Tonight we might try to get in to see a musical. And tomorrow we're talking about going to Central Park. And nothing against Jason, but I feel like a burden to him - I'd kind of rather be on my own. But I know that I wouldn't do as much stuff if I was on my own.

And I really want to go shopping. Tonight - a slice of NY style pizza and a little sidewalk shopping. Cheap purses! Hmm. I may need to buy a larger suitcase.
