Boy this city is BIG!
Today we went up to Central Park. We walked for ages and think we covered about a fifth! Had a buggy ride through the park which was great - ecpecially the big rug we got to hide under from the chilly New York Spring weather. Believe me, Spring has not yet sprung in the Big Apple!
After much searching and some freindly directions we found our way to the resteraunt off Sienfield! The Soup Nazi's kitchen is still there too but is now closed. We had dinner in the diner in one of the middle booths where the show was filmed. Very good value and huge meals.
We then went back to our room for Sarah to defrost in a hot bath.
Later we went the other direction and paid our respects at Ground Zero. Still an erie place to reflect on all those lives lost. One of the photos that really struck home to me was that of the despair on the face of a nurse waiting by the empty hospital beds with the realisation there were very few survivors for them to treat.
We only had time to wave to the Statue of Liberty as we ran out of time to take the ferry ride. Then it was back on the subway - did I say we have been riding the subway all day! We only had a few mishaps, getting off too early or ending up in the Bronx cause the train we were on was an express and didnt stop where we wanted! Anyway we had an all day ticket which made it easy to just jump right back on.
Tonight we had managed to get tickets for the Broadway version of Beauty & The Beast which was brilliant! We then took a pedal powered cab back to our street. Again, very grateful for those warm blankets they provide!
Have photos but finding it hard to find access to Internet that allows uploads! IT access was easier in Bangkok! Very hard to get on a computer that we can use Skype on too. So much easier in Vienna where Skype and headphones were always provided at the Internet Cafes!

Feeling like you're gonna be bored here in K-town. I can take you to the Courthouse, it's said to be haunted...? Or maybe we can go to the QuickieMart for a slushie, if they have plugged the slushie machine back in, we may just have to have a bag of Cheesies?
"N0 soup for you eh", never mind, just keep warming up in hot baths.
Don't worry Glenna - we will be happy to sit still long enough to stop spinning! Also looking forward to more farm activities! Sure there may not be pumkins to pick but I'm sure there will be something to do.
