WHAT A DAY!

We did a little bit of everything today.

Our day started with breakfast in and around our hotel. Then on the bus to meet our "City Tour" guide. We had a great walk around Central Park, which was longer than normal, since we had already done Ground Zero and the Lower East Side. Then it was off to Greenwich for Pizza, Eclairs, Mediterranean food, etc. Then back up to the Upper East Side to The Met for a look. The new Greek and Roman wing is INCREDIBLE.
After all of that it was back to the hotel to dress for the play, then a quick run to Ben's Deli(highly suggested to anyone needing some tips for a good meal near the Theater District.)
Phantom was maybe as good a presentation as I have seen of it (this was my 5th or 6th time seeing it)...I
After the play, most of the group headed back to the hotel with Mitch and Alan (Our Super TD's) Of course, I just cannot be like everyone else, so I led a group of 13 on a little adventure. We first headed into Time Square....and then...


We stopped in front of TGI Friday's, and stood in front of the Webcam, on our way up to the
Carnegie Deli, were we had at least one piece of each of their cheesecakes....the blueberry and the turtle were deemed the best by the group.

While at the deli was saw Dave Mustaine, formerly of Metallica, now the leader of Megadeath (you parents will be happy to know that only the adults knew who he was)...btw, he looked happier than this picture. He apparently had performed tonight in New Jersey, so the Carnegie Deli was his post concert meal.

Sitting at the same table was Micheal Badalucco from "The Practice"

To make a long story even a little longer...we finally arrived back at our hotel at 1:30....the 6:20 alarm is going to be painful.

I will be posting more pictures from today...but we haven't had time to clear memory cards today, so I don't have any material.

Just one more note...the posting times are a little misleading, apparently my computer thinks I am still in the Victor Valley...but at that moment it is 2:24 in the morning.
