- We went into the city today. For some reason the path station and subway took forever. So after possibly an hour of more we made it to Central Park. We went to Strawberry Fields and ate lunch there. Strawberry Fields is a memorial for John Lennon. Imagine. It was pretty awesome, really pretty and surprisingly it was not crowded. (I think the 20 degree weather had something to do with it!)
- After that we took the subway again to get home, and it took quite a while. We did have some entertainment in the subway. There was a jazz band (they actually had a CD) and the lead guy played trumpet, but he played two at one time. He was pretty good.
- My big surprise was.....Eric Hutchinson's concert!! I love him and he was great to hear live. So entertaining, so so so funny, and sounds almost better live than on the radio. The concert was at The Bowery Ballroom which is near Little Italy and Chinatown. We drove there. Traffic was horrible we left at 6 and didn't get there until 9. But once we got there they hadn't started yet and we didn't miss anything. So it worked out just fine.
- I went through the Holland tunnel for the first time. I didn't freak out, it was kinda cool. So I can cross that one off my list.
- My flight leaves today at 5. I'm not sure if we will have much time to do anything today. We got in last night at 2, so I am somewhat ok with taking it easy.
- The fashion here is amazing. Take a girl from Rome. Pretty normal and I stand out because I'm more normal! I love it!!! It is impossible to stand out with crazy fashion items in the city. There were people in green suits covering their entire body. I thought one girl was dressing up from the 80s, and she wasn't. Boots that have their own zip code cause they are so big. I don't know why but there were about 50 people in Santa suits walking all over in Chinatown. PJ bottoms and a party shirt. Anything goes, its great!
