I am a week into a two week holiay in New-York; and am enjoying myself. The main reason is I am with my lovely wife, who has been seconded to her company branch in New-York for three months and I had not seen her for a couple of weeks. Today we celebrate our second wedding anniversary and last monday it was my wifes birthday.

Anyway I have seen some of the sights – I am trying to spread them out over the two weeks so not to get “fatigued” – like the Empire State Building, Times Square, “Ground Zero”, Clinton’s fort, Statue-Of-Liberty, Brooklin Bridge, The Met, a Baseball game, the subway, the flat-iron building, St Patricks Cathederal. We have seen a couple of plays/musicals: Avenue Q – a puppet based musical with the hillarious song “The Internet is for Porn”, and “Inherit the Wind” with Brian Dennehy and Christopher Plummer (both well past retirement and both fantastic actors).

The best place we have been is the Cloister’s Museum in Washington Hights – very relaxing and a haven of calm in an otherwise chaotic city. The best view – well its the one from the Appartment (26th floor on 43rd street) looking uptown at night. We had a lightening storm that lit up the night sky on Wednesday and the show was fantastic. I will post pictures when I get back.
