The BlogHer conference is over. I loved every second of it. I really hope I can come back next year. It’s in Chicago for 2013. I’ve learned lots and you will see some additions and changes on how I blog in the coming months (I have so man ideas!). I’ll do a wrap up post on it all when I get home and have my proper computer.
Tonight I caught the subway to Chinatown. There was a subway nazi. We called him the subway soup man. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen! He was yelling and bossing everyone. I thought he was going to say “no more subway for you”.
Chinatown was huge and so many restaurants. We’d heard about a little place which is underground. We found the door – number 21. Best Chinese I’ve ever had! True.
My husband did Central Park today. He saw a squirrel!!! He took photos too! I couldn’t believe he got to see one. I squealed when he showed me the pictures! I’m on the hunt for one now.
Last night we did a night tour of Brooklyn. Basketball games going on like in the movies, lots of history and the Brooklyn Bridge!
I think I already have an accent. I’m saying “ninedy” (ninety), “folks” and “dinner” like I’m a local. I have got the hang of their grid-system (ie. the streets and avenues are all numbers). You never say “I wan to go to 811 Example Street”. You need to say “take me to 53rd and 7th”. This means the corner of 53rd Street on &th Avenue. They work on ‘blocks’. It’s so much fun. I’m loving guessing and working out all of this stuff
I have a big day of shopping tomorrow. We’re off to Woodbury Commons. Over 200 DFO stores! WE are catching a bus to them (and taking a suitcase with us!). I can’t wait. Want me to buy you a present? 😉
