Intro to NYC

We arrived safely in NYC last night. As soon as he picked us up, David announced I was going to have to play kickball because his team didn't have enough girls. Rain may have eluded Austin for months, but that is not the case here. The clay field was more of a mud pit. We had a blast! If you know me at all, you know I am NOT athletic in the best circumstances....slippery, sticky mud does not enhance those skills. I did make contact both times at bat (but could not run fast enough to get to first!), and I caught a pop fly! Whoo hoo!

After the game we went to Turtle Bay with the rest of the league. About 11 we headed to Times Square. I loved being out in the city at night!

Today David took us on a walking tour of Manhattan...and oh my goodness do the ankles, calves and feet hurt! We started the morning at Chambers (for those of you who know and care), made our way past Ground Zero (which I did not view so don't look for photos), and on down to Battery Park. From there we walked back up to Houston Street. On the way we hit Trinity Church, China Town and Little Italy, and ate lunch at a random seafood place down near Brooklyn Bridge.

We finally made it back to the apartment around 6pm at which time someone managed to spill the soy sauce in David's fridge, which I volunteered to clean up since I wasn't heading out with the guys again.

And that is where we are now. I'm on the couching updating the masses on our travels watching The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, while the guys are buying David's Summer II textbooks and grocery shopping. We're heading to a humus place for dinner...I'm not sure what that entails, but you can be sure there will be pictures!
