Nueva York

August 31st
Dim Sum at "Gogo" at 11AM. That means we caught an early train into NYC with Laura, Charlie, Sara, and her friend Christina.
Scotty and José meet us there.
Lots of Dim Sum. Alex eats chicken feet (*eeeeew*).

After that we walk through Chinatown and buy small stuff at the Pearl River Store. We take the subway and briefly stop at Times Square. And on we go towards 46th Street (Brasil Street) because today is Brasil-Day! It is loud and full of people. Live music, food, and clothes.

Alex and Fritzi seek refuge in a Barnes&Nobles bookstore with a Starbucks. Soon we are joined by Scott and José because they too feel it is too full of people outside. Suddenly everybody shows up and we stand around the DVD section. Purchases are made.

We decide to do something more quiet and possibly involving food. We go to Madison Square Park and the Burger Shack. Beer, lemonade, Shack-burgers, and fries. Very nice. Good food.
The attraction of the evening turns out to be the toilet station. It is futuristic and flushes itself. Fritzi and José watch the handi-man repair it and flush it with the door open. Very impressive. So Alex and the girls try it out.

We leave because eventually the squirrels start attacking us by dropping acorns on us.

Back at the house at about 9:30PM.
