A little bit of New York (and a meat challenge update)

Not the best place to choose to 'recover' and have some down time, but I seem to be managing.

36 °C

I'm currently staying in New York with my brother, all is well. Danni and Prue headed up from Miami to have a cocktail party last week, we went to Chigaco on Broadway, checked out that big statue, wandered through central park and relaxed at 'Strawberry Fields' - I love that so much space has been dedicated to a park, it's huge!

Shamus and I and a few of his friends went to a 'Strange Fruit' performance last saturday. They're this acrobatic thing from Australia, very entertaining and odd. It was in the Brooklyn Bridge Park under the bridge on the Brooklyn side. Right on sunset, an impressive backdrop looking back over Manhattan!

Other than that theres been a little bar hopping (by the way, I discovered this city does sleep. It can be impossible to wake up again too!) and a lot of wandering. Included in the wandering is a (lame) attempt to get a normal wardrobe and some attention to the 'beauty' things that have been missing out in South America.

Off to see Neko Case tonight in Central Park, perfect weather for it, warm and a little humid. Sunday in Central Park again off to see Brazillian Girls (music not porn) and wait for it.... Cat Empire, a few bevvies in the sun. As I'm 'Errand Girl' for Shamus during my stay here, I'm in charge of buying a picnic rug, I have a busy schedule these days.

Meat Challenge Update

Apparently in Miami its morally acceptable to eat Dolphin, so I'm behind in the challenge stakes. In search of something to top it here, no luck so far.

More soon. xo.

P.S. The simple things are still exciting me, for example the perfect recipe for relaxation, dvd + couch + pizza + a house to myself = something I missed in hostels. Love it!
