What a place!

Well, life here is certainly interesting. It's hustle hustle, well except for those annoying people who dawdle . We have walked our feet off and I have to admit that they are very very sore.   Checked out Macy's store yesterday and my oh my the shoe department was an absolute madhouse I have never seen so many shoes literally flying around. The idea is to give your order to a salesm an who enters it into his hand computer And someone then brings the shoes to you. I decided to be brave and in I went! Wish that I had had no ing gloves, but managed to find a shoe so gave my order to a man who told me where to wait and wait and wait and wait, anyway he eventually turned up Pologizing but had the wrong shoes so he very kindly said he would go And get the shoes himself. He did and yes I bought them but my feet are so swollen that I felt as though I was pushing puffy sausages into a matchbo x.
I think I will jump off a cliff before I tackle Macys new York again. San Francisco, yes, here, no!

By the way Mary Poppins was mArvellous. The scenery, choreography , singing. Definitely worth going to. The theatre itself was spectacular. What amazing places these are. We went to a play called One Man and Two Governors last night and after. Shaky first ten minutes, we laughed our heads off. It was a British show and I enjoy their sense of humor. Before the show commenced a quartet performed. They consisted off a singer, guitarist, bassist?? and percussionist ona washboard. The play was set in the sixties so they were appropriately dressed. Ver impressive.

On departing the theatre there was an avalanche of humanity stu k in the street because apparently Ricky Martin was there so all the star struck ones stopped for a glimpse. When we tried to hustle through, Catherine was grabbed by a cop and thrown. She was rather upset so,we went to a little diner where she had a cup of tea and we shared a bowl of calamari.

Actually then managed to ring dad on the correct day for his birthday. Well we had tried earlier when we knew it would be eight thirty in Aus and couldn't work out why dad didn't answer .catherine said that we could understand it if it was a Sunday cause he would be at chur h and the it dawned on us, it was Sunday over there and that's where mum and dad were. I think we are losing it. Just tired.
Managed to surprise Michael, declan and Kieran with a phone call as well. These phone cards Re great and now we have managed to work out that we can use our iPhone and not have to run around the city like demented lions raging and looking for a Public phone............

A bit slow, we are.

Ok, so today we decided to visit Central Park. Hot hot not, so we caught the metro for the short trip and upon arriving at Columbus Circle, we're immediately accosted by the sellers, hire a bike, be driven in horse drawn carriage, be taken around in  y someone else doing the peddLing whilst we sit in the sHaded pedicab.......ummmmm sounded good to me. Catherine was keen to walk but me being the sucker negotiated a price, and off we went.  Well honestly I think it was worth the sixty, yes I negotiated down to sixty!!!!!!dollars cause it was so hot Nd it gave us a much faster look at the park. I had considered hiring bikes Nd we could ride around ourselves but after seeing the ambulance caring for one poor fellow who had a crash Nd then another, nope I made the right choice. Whizzed around by a most entertaining fellow who afterall was well mannered enough to Apologise for the fact that he hadn't worn a belt and we kept getting a view of his undies, no backside thank goodness cause with the heat I would have passed out
The time saved meant we could progress on to part two of the day.
