New York - continued

Okay so where did we leave off???? I think it was at ice cream right?

Well, after a rest and a little time to build up an appetite, we ventured out for some sushi and finished off our night with dessert at - you guessed it - The Dessert Truck!

We shared this extremely delicious Milk Chocolate Mousse with a peanut butter cream center topped with caramel popcorn! If you are interested in The Dessert Truck, you can visit their website at http://www.desserttruck.com/.

After our dessert experience we walked the city to burn off all those kcals and hit the sack! Heidi's kitties kept me company during the night - here they are:

Oscar is on top and Felix is on the bottom - aren't they too cute?!

The next day we were up to our old tricks again - sleeping in and lounging around in the morning and finally getting out of the house around 2 or 3 o'clock which was just fine because the weather was so extremely hot and humid, it was almost unbearable outside. We started off the day with lunch - it was finally time to have a New York Hot Dog. We went to Papaya King which is supposed to be one of the best places in NY. They specialize in dogs with all kinds of toppings but also in fresh fruit shakes.

After lunch, we ventured over to Central Park as this is one of the places I have never gotten to see on any of my previous trips to New York and it was a beautiful day for it. We walked quite a bit and stopped and shopped at some of the street vendors outside the park. I got a pretty cool pair of sunglasses and a purse - what's better than some good deals in NY?!

This was our first stop in the park - I think it was called the boat pond or something like that - there were some people with remote control boats in the water. It was beautiful - we sat and rested for a while there.

We continued to walk through the park - this is a little tunnel that was a great kodak moment.

This is the Bethesda Fountain.

Near the Fountain we came accross this performer - at first we thought this must be a joke but he ended up being really good. He performed his own "opera" playing what appeared to be 3 different parts. He had an amazing voice but we couldn't understand what language he was speaking - apparently after doing a little research on him, I found out it is a language that he "made up himself". Interesting.... You can see video clips of him if you go to youtube.com and search for THOTH - that's his name.

More to come later - I still have 2 more days left of material!
