Stuff happened...but overall the weekend wasn't all that amazing. Friday we finally reached the Met, that was fun in a very educational/touristy way BUT THEN we went to the willage and back to the Back Fence and drank a bit...and got hit on my OLD MEN....cuz everyone is obviously over 21 :(
So instead, this weekend we are heading to East Village where the Punk/rock scene is and therefore hopefuly there will be more kids our age.
Anyway ON SATURDAY:
We slept in and then in the evening went to a hookah bar because we are used to smoking shisha on a semi-regular basis of..about every other day and going for almost a week without it made Annd in particular go mad...i was still okay because I rely on actual cigarettes a lot more then shisha. BUT anyway, the place we found was in this sketch neighbourhood in brooklyn, but the hookah ( the actual device you smoke from) was SOOOO pretty and big, it was over a meter tall! And the whole atmosphere rocked!
OHHHH, on the way there some guy hit on me as he walked past me on the street...he actually said "Damn Girl"! I took
about 5 stept a way from him and burst out laughing!!! ALSO on the way there ( but earlier) we saw these little kids ( about 10 years old if i had to guess) acting like the mafia...if i remember the Italian sounding one actually said "Find an alley and we'll beat him up real good. Thats what he gets for messing with me" to his friend and the kid getting bead up answered "Come on Freddie, I'll sell it to you cheap" We were walking behind then and I coudn't breath becuase I was trying to keep my laughter in...my eyes were watering and Anna's face got really red! IT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE SEEN IN YEARS!
Anyway...then On Monday we lounged and Anna walched/read a LOT of Naruto. On Tuesday we went to the Brooklyn Zoo and to the brooklyn Botanical gardens, neither of which were very impressive but here is a pic or two anyway:
<--this is me being stupid at the zoo and "leaping like a frog" though really it looks like i'm having a mini party on that lilipad :D
<-- this is me comparing my tattoo to an actual tiger lily :) Similar, no?
After all this, Anna being the cafine addict that she is dragged me to the only starbucks we found in Brooklyn so far, outside Brighton Beach station...the coffee (actually a smoothie, but same shit) was yummy. Then we went to the ACTUAL BEACH which we keep missing. It was nice because that was the first really sunny hot day we had in a while so I was happy.
ALSO I GOT A MONGO FLOWER ON A STICK!!! no joke
SEE:
<--- IT WAS DELICIOUS!
Okay...thats all for now...though really this whole post was like an update...since it all happened a few days ago now..
