The Summer Chronicles

Well, we are both down in The City now and have had a lot of fun this past week. While, His has been working I've been off shopping, exploring the area, and enjoying the Met.

We're living on the border of the Village and Chelsea. The area is great, very residential, with tons of stores and restaurants to explore. We found the perfect margarita a mere 4 blocks away (and its not too expensive) We had perhaps the worst margarita of my life on our block and will not be going back there. We've had an excellent French meal and a pretty good Italian meal all within one block of our apartment.
Our apartment is small (pictures are coming) and its not our stuff. Subleasing is hard. I really want to redecorate but I can't. Oh well, we don't plan on staying in here too much. There is a horrible bird across the hall that squawks, loudly, at all hours of the night.
Yesterday was a beautiful day so I headed uptown for a walk through central park that ended up at the metropolitan Museum of Art. The Met is fabulous and there is always something new to discover. This time I found the rooftop gallery and if i can figure out how to get the pictures off my phone I will post them. The Met is at about halfway through central park making for an unobstructed view for about 20 blocks in all directions. The view of the Manhattan Skyline from up there is amazing!
I met His at his office after the Met and we meandered our way back home to change and head out for a Friday night on the town, Indian Jones Style. We went to see Indy on its opening weekend. Thankfully His had pre-bought the tickets because the show was sold out and the line for seating wrapped around the block. It was a really cool old theatre and the crowd was infectious. Everybody cheered, laughed, and applauded at all the references to the old Indiana Jones movies. Speaking of old, Harrison Ford should not make another Indiana Jones movie, that is not the way I want to remember Dr. Jones.
We're heading out of the city today for a friends wedding. Hopefully, we will be back down in time to catch the end of the fleet week festivities. The Sailors are everywhere!
