It was bad enough when I had to share the computer with Maria, but these days I’m having to share with Claire as well. Makes it very difficult to get any time to keep up my blog.
On Thursday we went to the Seaport again to try and get some tickets for Broadway. The queue was much longer than Monday but the choice was much better too. We ended up with some good seats for Fiddler on the Roof. We then went to Trinity Church for the lunchtime concert, via Borders of course. I was impressed, we were only in there for 20 mins and Claire only managed to get one book but Maria got 4 books and 3 magazines. She’s obviously more experienced.
The concert was excellent, it was by Solid Rock Ensemble a Gospel group. It really made Maria want to go to a Gospel service.
We then went uptown with the intention of going up the Empire State Building, John had bought us tickets. By the time we got there we decided there was not enough time, so we went to some of the local accessories and bead shops, where Claire spent yet more money. I don’t see how she’ll carry it all back.
We then headed back home to quickly change and go out again to Broadway.
The show was at the Mishkoff Theatre which is on Times Square. It was a modern theatre with superb views.
The show was also excellent, Fiddler is one of John’s favourite films.
It was past 1.00 am before we got to bed and so we didn’t find it too easy to get up on Friday. Poor John had to go to work. Claire, Maria and I were intending to go up the Empire State Building but it was raining so we decided to put it off. Instead we pottered around for a bit and then went uptown to shop for fabrics and beads. Maria and Claire found (and bought) lots, the prices here are so good. Maria also managed to buy yet another (!!!) pair of shoes. They’re covered in beads and totally impractical, but she doesn’t seem to consider that.
There was a superb sunset in the evening.
John finished work today, he’s taking Monday as a holiday. Perhaps he’ll be able to curb the girls shopping?
