The last few days

Well today I'm writing this at the British Airway Club (see photo) at JFK Airport while we wait for our flight to Los Angeles. There will never be enough time to experience everything in New York. We'll be back.

Friday

Well we had a rest day. A sleep in - at least, I needed to rest my foot as I've lost the use of it. Linda still went in to walk the Brooklyn Bridge by herself, have a look around and do some shopping; the rest of just spent the morning taking it easy and we wandered into Astoria to a local Diner for brunch. at around 3pm, Sophie and I headed into 42nd St, just near Times Square, to see Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Linda met us there and it was fun to see all that weird stuff.

After that we has a bit of a wander around and ended up in a bar for dinner. Linda then headed home to see Tony, and Sophie and I headed off to the Mets baseball game. There home ground is in Queens so it wasn't far from home. Hmm - I bought some tickets outside the stadium from some scalpers! 20 bucks each and they had a z face value of 40. We ended up in some special club area, with great seats, where there were some giveaways - Sophie scored a Mets hat. The game was fun and the Mets won. We ended up home at about 11pm.

Saturday

We headed into z the Upper Westside to to Tom's (Monk's) Diner for lunch. It was the dinner used as the base in Seinfield. After lucy we caught the subway back to the American Museum of Natural History to go to the Planetarium. It was grouse. The museum is across the road from Central Park, so we wandered across the Park the the Guggenheim Museum to see the Rineke Dijkstra: A Retrospective display. It was a photography and video display of her work. Sophie and I were fascinated particularly of the videos and the methods she used to break down inhibitions.

We ended up back at the apartment by 7pm, our earliest finish for a day yet. We did head out for dinner to a local Italian Restraunt at 9pm. Tony said it was the best z meal he'd had since we arrived in the US. The mafia can certainly cook.

Sunday

Well as above we are at the airport waiting call for boarding to our flight to LA.
