NYC Day 2 and 3 Just The Highlights

Thursday was the best basketball viewing day with a close game against UCONN. However, it remained relatively uneventful otherwise.


On Friday, we walked through Central Park, where we posed for pictures at both the entrance to Central Park and the Tavern on the Green inside Central Park. We also saw Strawberry Fields. We sat while our friends had tea on the eighth floor of Saks Fifth Avenue. This description is given of Saks: With their dozen or so American flags flying outside, this department store offers quite a treasure of fashion for men and women at a SOMEWHAT HIGHER price because of all the great names within. From Calvin Klein to Ralph Lauren, cosmetics to accessories, items for travel or the home, and from shoes to fragrances, you'll find almost all that you'll need at this well known store. Note the somewhat higher description. I found a pair of shoes for 1400 dollars in the store, to me constituting a tad more than somewhat higher price.

The game against Georgetown was a low point of the trip. To assuage the agony of defeat, some new friends took me out for an interesting night culminating in lots of karaoke. We were able to see a spectacular view of the city from the top of one of their office buildings. We ended the night (or morning) with two karaoke establishments, one of which had continuous Gwen Stefani and Brittney Spears videos playing as you sang. The other place was a smaller establishment and here the videos featured sailboats with seagulls flying above. We finally arrived back at the hotel at 6 in the morning. It was thought by some that we were attacked by a gang. Thankfully, this was not the case. Sadly, no pictures of this event were taken with my camera. It is hoped that one will become available at a later date.
