Hello friends!
We have finally gotten settled in Amsterdam and have internet in our apartment. I am going to post a few of the blogs that I have written and have been unable to post over the past few weeks. Enjoy!
August 6/2011
Jay and I arrived safe and sound in NYC Friday night, and let me tell you it is hot. It only got worse as we got into the city with all the people and cars, but we're so happy to be here, even if we're sweating at all times of day. Luckily Selena has AC in her apartment (which is this amazing student housing building in Brooklyn), so we've been able to sleep.
Yesterday we walked for about 5 hours showing Jay the city. We went through Central Park, The Museum of Natural History, showed him the Plaza, walked down 5th Ave, the New York Public Library and went for dinner at this amazing little Italian restaurant. We got lost in the park it was so big, and Jay got someone to draw our picture. He was really good, except that he made us look too skinny (I know, who would complain about that), but it looked like 12 year old versions of ourselves. To kill time while we were getting drawn, Selena got a guy who gave $1 jokes to come over and entertain us. He was not funny. Worst $2 (I felt bad only giving him $1, even though that's all he asked for and his jokes sucked) I have ever spent. Dinner was also amazing. The restaurant was a classic little Italian place in Greenwich and we all got a pasta dish. After that, we ended the day at this little bakery with the most AMAZING cheesecake. We shared three pieces, and all felt sick after, but we figured we deserved it after all of our walking.
The day ended with Zoolander in Selena's apartment, because we were all too tired to venture out again, and because Zoolander is hilarious. "What is this, a centre for ants??" (If that line makes no sense to you, go rent Zoolander)
Here are some pictures:
Today we have a bit more sight seeing planned (Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge) and then possibly go to the Hillsongs church tonight if we can find it.
Monday I am off to Amsterdam, Jay is headed home, and Sel is finishing up her last week at RBC. I'm not sure when we'll be able to post again, so just keep checking back.
Cheers!
