New York

Friday 16 May 2008

When they forecast rain here, they mean it. It has been raining non-stop today and there are a lot of soggy people on the street. Mind you, there are multiple varieties of colourful rubber boots you can buy in the stores, so they’re obviously used to ‘weather’ here. The bad news is that it’s due to continue for the next couple of days so I’m not sure how much more ‘quality’ sightseeing we’ll get to see. Pity some of this rain can’t be sent over to Australia. Of course, everyone is talking about how unusual it is because May is usually the best spring weather, yada, yada, yada (that’s New York talk for blah, blah, blah).

Haven’t caught up with Jill yet, as she was going to pick up a sightseeing bus today. I’m sure she will have made the best of her predicament. Me, I spent most of my day being ‘pampered’ at a nearby Day Spa and feel quite relaxed. I’ll probably go to see a movie tonight to cap off a not very eventful, but very restful day.
