Back from NYC and I thought I would miss it but I don't. I am staying over in Vienna for a few days, no need to explain why.
On Sunday Michelangelo and I decided to go shopping to buy souveniers and other things. We ended up closing the Roosevelt Fields Mall in Long Island (if I'm not mistaken?). I admit I would've preferred to have shopped in the many boutiques in Madison Avenue, which I must say were quite near to our hotel. But he insisted he didn't want to shop there because it was overpriced. So we took a cab (another mistake considering NOT one of the five cabs we took knew how to get there). Most definitely not a good idea to go shopping on a Sunday when everyone is there. It's quite vexing to be with all those people bumping into you and not apologizing. Not only that, the sales people can be quite rude on occassion. I didn't buy as much as I want to and I didn't go to half the stores as much as I would've wanted to, but that happens when you're running short on time.
After that we went to La Goulue, a decadent (not to mention delicious) french bistro located in 65th and Madison. The food is simply remarkable. I know Michelangelo thought the same for we barely spoke when our food was in front of us. Simply... delicious.
Then we had quite an interesting flight back. Well actually interesting is putting it nicely. It was a complete nightmare with the bloody airline cancelling flights left and right and re-routing us through unthinkable places! It was particularly nervewrecking for me after I had made a mental schedule of where I would be and at what hour I would be there. We met up with Dr. Stocker in the airport which thank God, supplied me with conversation since Michelangelo was useless in that department. And we also met up with Marie, who mistakenly (or purposely?) took our flight. She said she didn't want to be alone.
Alas, I'm in Vienna, and I'm seeing Caterina Maria in a few hours so it was all worth it.
