Well, we finally made it! After all the planning, saving, prep
homework, etc. We finally got here!
Our flight last night was delayed a few hours so we didnt get in until
midnight. But we DID get to ride the shuttle at the San diego airprt
from terminal 2 to 1...it went alllllll around the airport, and when
we finally arrived we realized it was like exactly 10 steps from where
we started. Needless to say the adventures began immidiately!
Maggie picked us up from the airport, and it was so nice to have
someone we know pick us up and guide us to out beds!
This morning we hit the grocery store and got a lunch together to eat
while on the train to the city and in the park. We went to the
Guggenheim museum today! The museum was built by Frank Lloyd wright
and is a work of art in itself. But then it has a great impressionist
exhibit and some lovely modern art pieces too! Today we got to see
some Picasso, Manet, Casset, Klee, vadinsky, degas, and lots more!
Except they had this really weird Maplethorpe sound exhibit and some
awful minimalist pieces that we weren't really into.
Afterwards we ate peanut M&Ms and walked through the beautiful park
for quite a long time. The weather today was sunny and in the mid 60s
for the first time all winter, so it seemed like all of NY was out
enjoying the sunshine and park too!
I made Alyssa walk by where Carries house from sex and the city is
supposed to be and then we took the amazing subway (public transit!
What a concept!) to times square to try and get discount tickets to a
show. The discount tickets were still $60 so we cancelled that idea
and got some comedy club tickets for $15 instead from a nice gentleman
named jeff.
By then we were starving, so we enjoyed a little Italian dinner off
Broadway and shared a carafe of merlot! Woooooo!
Currently were on the train back to the beautiful countryside where
Maggie lives and are so tired we can hardly keep our eyes open! For
real! I don't know how we made it back on this train! So tired!
Another fun day tomorrow!!!! We love it here but r ready for bed!
