Internet Woes and Sunday

So the reason we have been so sporadic at posting is that our hotel doesn't have free internet. They want $10 a day for it! How crazy is that! We've been searching for free internet and have finally decided that Starbucks is the best place for it.


But anyway the trip has been fantastic so far! Sunday we met our friends and went to breakfast at a great little corner bakery then caught the subway up to Central Park. We saw the Delacorte Theater, the Belvadere Castle, Strawberry Fields, and the beautiful Central Park Zoo. The Zoo was perfect. There were penguins and polar bears and sea lions, oh my. We had the privilege watching the penguins and the sea lions get fed and put on a show. There are some amazing pictures that I would love to share. They'll be on facebook soon. After Central Park we went to the Flatiron Building and ate lunch at the Shake Shake (claims the best burgers in New York) and it really was good. We then head back up town to catch The Lion King! The awe inspiring show was full of beautiful costumes and incredible singing and dancing. I really like the puppetry. Our friends who live here loved the show and I don't think the adventure will soon be forgotten.
After the show we walked down 5th Avenue for a ways seeing the Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music and the NBC Studios. Dinner was at Jubilee, a fancy little French restaurant with awesome food. I found out that I like artichokes. Had our friends not been there, Dean would have gotten Chicken and potatoes and apple pie and ice cream (instead he had rack of lamb and tried creme brulee). We then went back downtown to Chelsea to catch a movie. We watched Duplicity. It was good. Finally we made it back to the hotel room about midnight definitely ready for a good night's sleep.
