sub-zero wolf viking, or the longest saturday ever.
spring break ended up being filled with adventure, mishappenings and lots of love.
-bought bus tickets for the wrong time by accident
-fixed it and waited around till 1 am
waited in line, only to find out from the unfeeling bus driver that we had to have our birth certificates or passports. NO ONE TOLD US THIS, in fact they told us the opposite, that no one ever checked.
on tv nation, michael moore totally did a thing about how easy it was to get across the canadian border. even in a moose suit! yet, mike and i were in a dilemma.
(we can try again within 180 days, so fear not! we will get to montreal soon.)
so in the wee hours of the morning, we decided to head out to nyc at 7am. i feel like it was fate, becos saturday, march 5th was his grandfather's 86th birthday. we wandered around town, had coffee and ate at the cherokee diner, then went out to queens for the party. although we got confused on the long island rr, i think his grandpa was pleasantly surprised and it made for a nice night.
the next day we headed back to the city and i finally got to see the guggenheim. amazing. we, of course, got confused on its location but we took the walk through central park and it turned out the gates were still up. they aren't that impressive, but nice for the city. i had my first ny hot dog and my second. the last couple times i was in town i was still flirting with vegetarianism...so! they were delish.
ate at another diner, had more coffee, realized we were gonna be broke by morning so decided to get back to boston asap.
spent a couple days unwinding back home, watching 'seven' and 'son of sam' and eating falafel and drinking coffee before i flew out to philadelphia on wednesday. highlights:
-preston is beautiful, three new teeth and now smiles and laughs
-natalie and i got to dance around
-natural history museum
-the dali exhibit at the philadelphia museum of art, amazing
-i cooked my first filipino meal!
much more. i have to go to archaeology now, unfortunately. there are pictures of my spring break at my website" as per usual. i hope all is well with you. this week is going to be ridicuslously hectic, with my research paper due and my mom and sister coming in on wednesday. woo boy.
