Despite the rain and some fairly low temperature (~50 F) we had a great day yesterday. And long! Sebastian was jumping around in the bed at a little past 5AM in the morning, and he managed to get us out of the duvets at 5:43! All time record! We took the underground downtown, and started the day in Macys, where florists had made some fantastic window displays. Apart from this Macys was not the big adventure, and we quickly decided to move on. Next stop was Toys R Us. The shop is built up around a grand 'pariserhjul' - with a loooooong queue. As Sebastian refused to try it, the queue problem solved itself.
We went through Times square and was starting to feel very cold and wet. Under the Rockefeller Center we found a nice little sushi-bar, and ordered some take away to eat back at the hotel. After the nap we went out again - this time with more appropriate clothes: 'flyverdragt', boots and gloves! We walked down Park Avenue and spotted some very nice shops. The area around Park Avenue, Madison Avenue and Lexington Avenue definately need some more scrutiny and attention... Being a little dissapointed about the Toys R Us shop, we went to the F.A.O. Schwarz toy shop, where they have some gigantic teddy bears and a great selection of toys and kids clothes. We found the coolest rain-coat and boots! For dinner we were luckly to find a small place, where kids were welcome (asking at an Italian restaurant earlier in the day their answer to whether kids were welcome was: 'if they are well-behaved'. Well, a no-go!). Tue got the grand 16 oz. rib eye steak - happy, happy man! Sebastian got some pita-bread - happy, happy boy!
Today is hospital day, and we are looking forward very much to meet Dr. Auerbach and Dr. Boulad. We will post more later.
