Last real day in NYC, cause tomorrow I will have to leave for JFK around 2pm. Got up late again! Still DUI... driving myself under the influence of a jet-lag! lol
After having breakfast with Sue, I went to the library to use the Internet... tried to check if the transfer Nela made to my account was already posted, NO LUCK! Fucking Spanish banks!!!!
I checked my messages, answered some of them, made sure I had all the numbers of the cs in PR I was gonna stay with, and left for a walk downtown.
The day was gorgeous! Sunny and hot, just as promised! A real summer day in the Big Apple! Still penniless but happy, I strolled around Central Park and my old neighborhood in E Houston. I had all day for myself, up until 7:30pm when I was supposed to meet with Sue and friends for dinner, a music show, and a party at one of her buddies.
Dinner was at a small African restaurant in Brooklyn. I got on the subway, and asked for directions at the booth. They told me to get off at Nevins... I don't have to tell you, I got LOST! I was told the restaurant was in Carlton Ave and Hoyts... the thing is Carlton and Hoyts go parallel to each other... so, there is no such corner! It took me an hour's walk to find the place! That was the downside of it... on the other side... I passed by Alan Rickman (Harry Potter's Professor Snape) on my way to the restaurant! Didn't want to stop him or anything, after all, he is just another human being going on doing whatever his business is! But, for me and everybody else that visits or lives in this city, this is what it's known as a New York minute... when anything can happen or pass you by!
