MANHATTAN 3

All day today it rained like Noah's cousin in the Big Apple. Some of you who don't quite understand the logistics of being 6'5" tall wouldn't know that when you are 6'5" and you're carrying an umbrella at essentially a 7' altitude, there is so much body BENEATH the umbrella that the lower third of you gets wet ANYWAY. It's just how it is.

So the day today was all about shopping for the ladies - which I guess was a good thing because the day was a bust anyway with the weather, so you might as well do something you dread and put that cherry right on top by making that thing several hours of shopping at upper end stores complete with far-too-pretty and snooty salespeople (not all of them were though).

So there I am, in my torn-up-and-re-sewn-100-times-blue-jeans-that-are-wet-from-the-knees-down walking into these crusty fashion boutiques with my two ladies all day long. I'll admit we had a good time though - I even bought something - and the day was redeemed near the end when we took the subway down to Little Italy and Chinatown and walked around. We had dinner at a chic Italian restaurant to cap the night. That's the main drag of Little Italy in the pic above - Mulberry Street.

One more day to go. We have some really fun, cool stuff planned for tomorrow.

And be blessed.
