GREETINGS FROM THE BIG ASS APPLE,
NEW YORK, NEW YORK IS AMAZING, IT'S BIG, IT'S COLD & JUST LIKE THE MOVIES! YELLOW CABS AND XMAS CAROLING WITH DECOS ON ALL THE WINDOWS.
We arrived in NY without realising how cold it really was, i arrived with slight African tan, track pants, T-shirt & thongs & looking outside the window, the weather didn't look too cold with blue sky & sun, however when i seen my very cute dad rugged up in shirt, jumper, ski jacket & a cute little Beani waving at the arrival gate i knew the weather was cold (it was freezing), we went out for breakfast (my god the meals are massive and the units are big) & Maureen took us around NY city that night, my family live right in Manhattan close walking distance to every shopping mall (Lisas Maceys) & famous sights like central park is only 5min walk away. We went to the museum of natural history and had a new york side stand hot digedy dog. Cheese on tap is in the shops but id rather not.
Although it's cold everyone looks great dressed up in their winter gear, fur coats and leopard print jackets & it dosn't seem to bother anyone that its soooo cold.
The shops are nothing like at home, it's exactly like what you see on t.v, xmas carols, myer xmas windows in every window & over the top xmas decorations all over he city.
My Dad was surprised by my uncle Geriod from Ireland who made the Xmas trip to NY even better, we miss everyone at this time & wish you were all here.
We have spent most of our time with our family & haven't really explored the City yet but we still have another week, we might even make our way to Niagra Falls!
We also wen't to my Aunt Anne's work xmas party & met all of her wotk collegue's, who seemed very excited to meet two Aussies from "MELBOuRNE" we felt like we have worked at her company for 30 years.
Today is Xmas & we are heading to my Aunt's house for xmas lunch/dinner, where the entire family will be! Wine, fosters, bud beer and plenty of food should make it a big party.
MERRY XMAS AND ALL THE BEST LE & AZ.
