disneyworld

loved the rest of my time in new york. ate at lots of good restaurants, got my tourist on and visited most of the major sites.. cried at some amazing modern art at MoMA and the Met. really makes me miss living close to good galleries.

now in orlando with father, brother, uncle and cousin. having fun checking out various disneyworld parks.. magic kingdom yesterday, typhoon lagoon today. it's nice to see some sunshine. really good to hang out with dad and pete.

i miss home though. ireland. galway.

NYC - Day 2

Golly!

My second day in New York, and I'm feeling completely exhausted and overwhelmed. This is a big place.

Had dinner last night at a great veg restaurant called Red Bamboo. Am staying with a couple of vegan friends and a friend of theirs organised this big dinner with about 20 veg and vegan people he knew, so it was a nice way to spend my first night here- chatting with interesting people from around the States and the world over good food.

Today had brunch at Teany, a teeny veg cafe part owned by Moby. Recommend the triple chocolate brownie brownie (not sure whether the second brownie was a typo on the menu, but i like it). After that went on a mission to find new shoes, mine were in a state.. the sole had almost completely come away from the right shoe. Then headed to the Met via a dawdle through Central Park, stopping along the way to be charmed by squirrels.

Somehow those few activities filled my entire day.. I guess I did a lot of wandering along the way. Will post photos at some point.
