3rd. day in NYC. I still am under the influence of a severe jet-lag. I got up really late in the morning and felt slower than ever doing the daily routine of showering, having breakfast, etc. In other words, I had to be in Wall st. district to see my lawyer at 2:00pm, and got there just!
I spent the whole afternoon going over details, and more details of something that happened almost 4 years ago! Believe me, my memory doesn't reach that far! So, I guess I could say it was somewhat a pain in the neck! But got through alright, though.
The day was a bit windy but, all in all, sunny and pleasant. I walked up to Ground Zero, which is a couple of blocks away from my lawyer's, and saw the memorial they are building there. It is gonna be really nice once it's finished. Went to the Post Office next door and sent a postcard to Sylwana and Troy in Poland, as per their specific request! lol
It was so nice outside that I decided to walk a little and go up to Canal st. I was surprised at how many of my old shopping places are now closed! Well, they all were selling smuggled goods, and I guess the cops were really on them! But I managed to find my old Hindu friend, the one that always sells my perfume, and was able to get a good bargain outta him... as always! lol A short visit to Pearl for art supplies, where, unbelievably, my student card from Spain got me a 10% discount! I am all for discounts and bargains!
I then took the subway to Time Square at 42nd, and walked down to 40th with 7th to the most famous comic book store in the world! I was trying to find Raphael or Michaelangelo, from the TMNT action figures for my son as a b-day gift, which is next month... but, unfortunately, they had none! A bit frustrated walked back to Broadway and went to
The afternoon was giving in, as well as my feet. It was time to go back to the dorm and try to rest some before my dinner date with Sandy... or so I thought! 10 minutes after I got there Sandy called and told me to leave right away! Take the subway up to 242nd st. where she will be waiting for me... No rest! "This is NYC" I keep telling myself! The city that never "rests"!
It was so good though to finally see Sandy! She is looking great, and doing really well after the cancer. She took me for dinner to a little sushi place in Riverdale, and... I finally had my first cosmopolitan!!!! Sushi was excellent too!
Stuffed and tired, (cause it was my real meal since I've got here!) I went back to the dorm. I was supposed to meet Sue and go to a cs meeting with her and a bunch of NY cs, but when I called her I got the machine, and by the time she answered back I was already half sleep, and with no desire of going out again!
Outside, it was still windy and a little cold. But we still had the promise of a new day ahead, a one with shinny and clear skies... and that was enough to go to sleep and dream again.
