First problem, our cell phone didn't work. We were excited about the fact that we finally had one and could use it in the city to call the landlord of the apartment we were going to rent for three days. I'm guessing the service we get is exclusive to Vermont, and did not apply to NYC. Whatever be the case, it was a bummer, and now we had to find a payphone and use it with all the noise of the city. Anyone who has spent time in the Big Apple will tell you that using a cell phone is always an adventure. It took us about four tries, and about $2.00 in quarters before we finally got in touch with the guy.

It was a bit late, but were in NYC mode, which meant late nights and late mornings. Besides, we were hungry, and you realize that when it comes to eating, you can't beat NYC, not just in terms of availability, but in terms of selection, as well. Ethnic food galore. We resolved to eat foods that we couldn't find in our small town in Vermont, so our first stop was a Vietnamese noodle shop just down the street. We did the NYC thing and got take out, and then ate in our cozy little flat.
After eating, it was bedtime and a big day in the city. We were beat, not to mention nursing colds that would soon develop into serious afflictions, but that's life in the big city.
Until the next time, thanks for reading.
