Andy and Matt's Great Escape.
Hey everyone. Just thought we'd take this opportunity to update y'all on what we've done so far; as its -5 outside and blowing a blizzard. Thought we had seen the last of the snow; apparently not!
On friday we went exploring - after building our snowman - which I hasten to add was critically acclaimed - many a passer by asked if they could take a photo of our 'cute' yet manly 'archetypical' snowman! We then went in search of sothebys - which was rubbish. Hoped we might see some great pieces on display instead saw loadsa empty boxes. Then we went onto bloomingdales and played 'guess the price'which is harder than it sounds. From there went onto FAO swartz, the toy shop. Pretty good - especially the huge piano which I had a go on! (surrounded by little kids!) Was gr8 fun. Although the other parents expected their kids to start playing mozart! Pushy yanks. Then went on to the plaza hotel (the one in home alone 2 "You've been sleeping with everybody! - lazy joe with gimpy leg - what a classic!) Used my 'acting skills' to blend in with the rich and famous, managed to get up the grand ball room in the lift. Quite impressive!
SATURDAY
Went down to our next hostel (for one night) Went to the New York libray (where Day after tommorrow was filmed) Saw the guttenberg bible. From there went onto grand central station - beats victoria station any day. Even though it was covered in scaffolding. Also saw the chrysler building and empire state building (have yet to go up - waiting for a clearer day) Went into macys also - loads nice stuff -if only had loadsa nice money. Once it was dark went to times square - was amazing, such a 'alive' place. All the lights and crowds. Went back to our hostel - which had a tv - and decided to try one of the bars. Finished the day off which a coupla pints of stella and watched ESPN.
SUNDAY
Went for another walk in central park, and decided to check out the zoo - from outide the main fence (why do they charge for everything!!!) Then went onto the ice rink (but didnt skate) - still, glad we saw it. Decided to check out times sqaure again - had an all u can eat chinese (andy made the most of it!) Both still living off fortune cookies - gettin slightly spooked by the messages. Andys still waiting for his mystery lover tho -keep u updated on that.
Thats all for nw -today just went to the docks and went round abercrombie. Too cold for much. Out now to find a pool table sumwhere.
Hope all is ok with you all, photos soon when we get a chance.
Matt (and andy)
