i have decided that if there were a neighborhood ticklist, we would have done some serious ticking yesterday. it was a very long day. and my feet hurt just a tad from it now! let's see, there was... soho. chinatown. little italy. soho. canal street. brooklyn. prospect park. upper west side (which is where andrea lives, but hey it counts!). all of that in one day. plus lots and lots of subway trains, a fabulous free concert in prospect park, shopping in chinatown and soho. and much, much more.
yesterday had lots of adventures, but i have to say that the highlight was the free concert in prospect park (i heart brooklyn). it was a free show put on by the city and featured different african musicians from all over the continent. the music was unbelievable. the weather was perfect. and it was just the nice relaxing (ok, there was dancing, but it was still relaxing) afternoon we needed after the shopping-fest earlier in the day.
speaking of the shop-o-rama... chinatown is a trip! it just happened to be the day of the chinatown summer festival so the place was packed! this just added to the general sense of craziness that is chinatown. haggling was interesting as well, being that i am not a haggler, but the ladies in the shops sure seemed to enjoy it. i picked up a few cute things for isa and baby #2 and called it good. there was just too many things to see and do and the general overwhelmingness of the crowds didn't lend itself to leisurely looking.
ok, off to the Guggenheim... more later!
