An email from my daughter

2007-09-21

I woke up to this email this morning.  My youngest daughter is in NY for the first time and apparently is head over heels in love with it :)

Ahh! I LOVE this place! We are staying on 87th between Broadway and Amsterdam, that's right, not even half block of broadway. This area is bustling, people everywhere, we walked for about four hours tonight and, no exaggeration, probably passed about 250 resto.s and 600 storefronts. Ate at Cafe Con Leche on the sidewalk and had the most AMAZING paella and....ahem...assertive sangria. We are only three blocks west of Central Park and it seems to be even more amazing than I thought. We then hoofed it all the way down to 60th street where we stumbled upon Trump International Tower in this amazing intersection with a giant fountain and literally hundreds of people of all ethnicities. The architecture is amaing! I saw the most BEAUTIFUL church and am going to try to catch the service on Sunday. It is a Universalist Unitarian church. Sorry if my grammar is poor but I have never felt so invigorated by a place in my entire life. You have GOT to come here. Tommorrow we are going to the Museum of Natural History which we walked by tonight. It is where Night at The Museum was filmed. We may hit the guggenheim, but it depends on how long we are at the first museum. I havent really taken any photos yet as I was just too enthralled but I will tommorrow. LOVE YOU

Tell your daughter thanks from me - that email really cheered me up and put me in a good frame of mind. I felt as though I was living vicariously through her for a minute. Ah to be young and excited.
