Bubba and Bean (BB) Lodges New York City

... the cabs Jules went and stood in the queue at the half-tix equivalent and got tickets to Shrek The Musical. Before the show, we celebrated Carly's 11th birthday at Planet Hollywood, and then all thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Although we all loved New York, we are looking forward to a dramatic temperature change tomorrow when we head to Cancun, where the forecast is around 32C, a fair diff to the NYC forecast of around 7C.

... were to get my flight back to Brazil to work on the boat till I left to come home. I had wanted to go down through Chile and up through Argentina on my way back there, but this was going to cost me more money than I could bear to borrow, and I concluded that being back in Brazil, although done before, would still be part of this magical time, so happily repacked my [much smaller] backpack heading back to Georgia en route to Brazil...

... long walk along the sea we got to the Brooklin Bridge which we cross by feet. On the bridge we had a great view over the skyline of Manhattan until we got to Brooklin to take the subway to the Central Park. I wanted see the Blueberry Field on 72nd Street in the Central Park that was in memorial of John Lennon which died close there but as we found the famous place it was only a small circle with a lot of people taking photos. after this a bit ...

... it is widely praised as a cultural Mecca and financial and arts center of the world. Granted, there are quite a few great things to be found in the city and I definitely did enjoy myself there. But, to me the uniquely distinguishing thing about the city was the lifestyle-price it took to generate this environment. It seemed that the rules of living in Manhattan were almost entirely different from the rules of living anywhere else on the planet: food comes almost ...

... but it was getting late we had to head back to Manhattan.  We went to Madison Square Garden to check out a NY Knicks game versus Oklahoma City Thunder.  We sat in the third section up and enjoyed the winning game of the Knicks 116 to 106 in MSG!  We exited the building along with the rest of the crowd and to our surprise, we got outside within 5 minutes!  It shows that people of New York "keep it movin ...

... con il toro di wall street e taxi per South street seaport. dopo aver acquistato delle adidas a 50$ si mangia visto l'appetito e che sono le 5 di pomeriggio! mi rilasso e mi vado a godere un pò della vista sul ponte di brooklyn. C'erano varie installazioni chiamate NYC Waterfalls.. una sorta di cascate, ma nulla di spettacolare devo dire anzi.. Chiedo ai primi che mi trovo davanti con la busta di Abercrombie dove si trovi li a South st.. vediamo se stavolta ...

... China Town. I promised to my friend to bring her stamp for her calligraphy from China Town. I took a while to find the town and it wasn't what I expected at all. Streets in Amsterdam looked more Chinese then the place here. Lunch time! Let's have some really good Chinese food - well, not in the China Town. At least we didn't know where to go, so we ended up in a Korean place. Wasn't the worst food I ever had but wasn't the best either. But soup and hot tea made us ...

... People in NYC are SO nice an helpful. Times Square was not as I expected for some reason. I thougt it would be more open. At least it appeared so in pictures. We had a restful break in Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. Seems I needed the rest after the subway adventure. Scott was more interested in the menu than the chair. On to Dublin.

... so funny!  We said goodbye to mom and dad and made our way us the escalators to the top floor of the theater.  Alison had been having to go to the bathroom since the ride into the city, so I asked where the bathroom was but was told we had to use the one by the theater.  We went upstairs and were greeted by Underdog and Polly Purebred!  Two trainers had the actual dogs from the movie and they were so cute!  Underdog had his little ...

... capillari. Ci si deve spogliare di cinte, scarpe, orologi, catenine, collanine, monete e cellulari per passare sotto sofisticati metal detector. I risultati sono code interminabili, ma tanta sicurezza in più.
Pensiamo a coloro che ancora sostengono la tesi della messinscena riguardo l’attentato al World Trade Center. Fosse vero, un Paese intero si sarebbe oltretutto complicato dannatamente la vita danneggiando il turismo e speso milioni di dollari in più per rafforzare ...
