NYC Day Three,

Another great day for us here in the land of many contrasts.
Besides all of the different areas (Little Italy, China Town, SoHo, and the many others) There is also a great difference in the way the city looks, the way the people act, and the things you can do. It is interesting just sitting around and looking at the people. People hanging around, busy people, street venders, food venders, shop keepers, police people, and so many others that are out and about in this moving city.
Ryan went into the office about 11 and he had a lunch meeting so Dan and I had planned to go to the Temple today. We started out late, (mostly because I couldn't get out of bed this morning) and once we were ready we called the cab company Ry said to and it pulled up just as we hit the street. The cab took us around the upper East Side and through Central Park to the upper West Side and onto Columbus street where the temple is.
Yup....just in the middle of a very nice business area, with offices on the other side of two of the walls. Very interesting. Very beautiful. Very small. What a nice time we had. Even though there were only 5 people in our session. Really? Millions of people on this little island and only 5 in a session in the middle of the day? And I don't think either of the other two ladies had been there before either because they each asked me questions about it.
After our Temple session, we walked into Nick and Tony's Cafe for a little bite. We had a little bite and two diet drinks and the tab was 48 dollars. Again I have to say REALLY???? I can't believe how expensive everything is. I may have to cut back on the eating. But what fun is that? We talked about a $5 sandwich and Ryan doesn't think we could even find that price on the whole island.
After our snack we walked down Columbus and met Ryan in Columbus Circle. A short subway ride and we were back in the Times Square area to get tickets to a show for tonight.
We got great seats to the Adams Family. It was very funny, and we had a great time. The stars were Nathan Lane as Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth(the woman that played Lillith on Frazier) as Morticia. What fun to see something with great Stars in it. We are talking about a couple of other possabilities for next week.
A subway ride home with a transfer, and Ryan ran to the deli for sandwiches for dinner before bed. And it is late again tonight for us. Ryan says we are wearing him out. But this is too good an opportunity to see the city and we want to see as much as possible.
We love and miss you.
Happy Birthday again Josh.
Dan and Nic
