Tuesday we packed up our stuff, went to a late breakfast, then wandered past lots of the Christmas windows that some of the big stores organise every year. Some very clever. We found the fancy apartment and were very pleased to be warm again. Wendy and Lach retrieved our luggage and organised take away Thai, then Carol and Katie arrived. Apparently Katie had only slept for 5 of the almost 36 hours they took to get here. She was delighted to have her 4 cousins to look after her, but after a while they were less impressed when she would not go to sleep. Carol was exhausted when they arrived, but she was still smiling. Wendy was delighted, if not completely surprised.
This morning Wendy , Lach and Carol went for a run in Central Park, then we went to an off- Broadway performance of The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe. Katie had never been to a live performance before and it was fun to listen to Lainie trying to explain to her what was going to happen. After lunch at some American burger place that Lach knew of, we wandered down Broadway with all the other tourists trying not to loose each other, through Times Square and to Bryant Park, then back to the very welcome warm apartment. It got to a high of -4 today, but sometimes when you rounded a corner the bitter wind hit you . Katie did a great job of walking for ages, always with a cousin on either side of her.
