The weather here is still gorgeous, we had a couple days of rain but even they weren't so bad and didn't prevent us from walking all over the place.

I haven't done much sight-seeing, but I don't really feel the need to since I've been to NYC so many times in the last few years. I'm really enjoying just relaxing in the hotel room (pampering myself with a variety of recently purchased H20 products), meeting Paul for lunch and taking a stroll around a selected area of the city before heading back to the hotel room to look up possible dinner spots for the night. It's been incredibly relaxing (except for my feet, which are covered in blisters and ache).

Our hotel provides us with USA Today every morning and so for the first time in a long time I've been reading a daily paper. Had no idea the world was going completely to hell in a handbasket. Let me just say, I'm so glad I have other sources of news at home or I'd probably be a liberal too. So many of their headlines are unabashedly slanted against the President, the Republicans, the war, the economy, etc. I don't know why I'm surprised, but I guess I just didn't expect it to be so blatant. No wonder newspaper subscription numbers are falling everywhere.
