....the Big Apple, we've arrived. The shimmering bright light of an often fading America. This place is truly amazing, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are in New York (baby). Currently at the Apple Store, with free internet. Airo and I have just devoured our first bagel and coffee. Of course we had it on the run like most New Yorkers. For if you stop here, you'll get crushed in the rush.

One other note was that fact that Airo's baggage didn't turn up with our flight. Much pain and hurt have occured in the last 12-20 hours. However, all is not lost, as this morning....the grey suitcase (which is often mistaken for the isze of Manhatten itself) was sitting in the respection. A reunion.......aahhhhhh.

Now off to the Grassroots Tavern......
