A tough flight

We met at the airport, stressed around for a while and checked in. Before boarding we ate lunch, which was a little drier than anticipated, since security stole my olives. And frisked me twice I might add. I rather enjoyed that (naughty me). After eating lunch we boarded and sat through 7 hours of flight tedium and Great Stiffness of the Neck. There was one great experience during the flight though. In the selection of movies, there was a cartoon called Horton hears a hoo or some such thing. It was very very very funny and at one point Ivan laughed so loudly and hysterically that it made all the other passengers nervous and edgy.



We arrived in New York very tired and jetlagged, and went straight to our hotel, which is very nice! After unloading we went in search of FOOD! Just around the corner from us we found a diner which seemed to have a nice atmosphere. It turned out to be a Greek diner from the early seventies, currently run by a bunch of friendly Mexicans. The manager Abel told us he had worked there for 12 years and he seemed like a really nice guy! The food was reasonably priced and greatly satisfying.

soooo tired now.... will have to tell more about our evening tomorrow!

Graaaargh....* Sleep!

Man - what's with the beard!? Cool, in fact, in a crazy-viking-meets-"A"-train-dude-ish way.
