Day 43 & 44 New York

Day 43
After such a very full day yesterday we all needed a ‘rest day’.  It was good to just have some time out, watch a few movies and just relax.  Julee felt like doing some cooking so we went off to the ‘Whole Food Market’ near Union Square and bought some goodies.  It was so nice to have a real home cooked meal.

Day 44
Today we walked along Broadway to Soho – so named as it is short for South of Houston Road which divides it from Greenwich Village.  There are a couple of blocks known as Noho – I’ll let you work that one out.
We found another lovely deli for a morning coffee and a Thai café for lunch.  The unfortunate part was that it drizzled rain all day – at least it wasn’t snow.  We had a look through a few shops.  I particularly wanted to see ‘Bloomingdales’.  It was really not much different to Myers but it was good to see it anyway.  We went into one shop both Julee and I loved.  Most of the stock was made in Barcelona.  It was very colourful and gorgeous.  Unfortunately for me it was made for petite people – something I definitely am not.  Oh well……time for a cuppa – this time we went to one of the NY uni. Coffee shops called ‘Think Coffee’.  It was great fun but very noisy.

So home we went.  On the way the boys bought a bottle of red and Julee and I went to a supermarket and bought some more supplies for a yummy pasta for tea.  We planned to go to the movies this evening.  We got ready in our coats, hats and scarves ready for the cold and a few drops of rain and headed out – it was absolutely teeming down so back up the lift, off with our coats, and a nice night in seemed like a good idea.
