Good evening from the Big Apple
November 26th, 2008
It’s 7.24pm local time here, but I can truly feel that I am still on London time (00.25am). The flight went smooth with on board entertainment: Ghost Town (again - and I did watch it again and loved it and cried again), Inspector Lynley and I even saw bits of Mamma Mia. Add to that a bit of dozing and the 7 hours flight went relatively quick.
When we landed the streets were still wet from the morning rain, but it is fresh but clear now and the next couple of days should be dry with some sunshine. Very nice. I am planning to do the 3 hours circle tour (boat) around Manhattan one of the coming days, it is supposed to be a nice trip.
It also seems to be something with Thanksgiving here this week, and there is a big parade near Macy’s on Thursday. I will have to investigate as I don’t know much about Thanksgiving traditions in the US. (Maybe someone can enlighten me?)
I hope all is well in London and with you, in New York all is well.
And I love New York because during the long subway ride from the airport to Union Square I saw Bill Nighy posters in nearly every station. Valkyrie is coming!
Sleep well, wherever you are.
(They have new pc’s here in the hotel, so I might be able to upload some photos while I am here, I’ll do my best).

Have a great time in NYC !
According to Wikipedia :
The centerpiece of contemporary Thanksgiving in the United States, and Canada is a large meal, generally centered around a large roasted turkey. The majority of the dishes in the traditional American version of Thanksgiving Dinner are made from foods native to the New World, according to tradition the Pilgrims received these foods from the American Indians. However, many of the classic traditions attributed to the first Thanksgiving are actually myths introduced later.”
This is the only reason why Americans need bigger and ussually more ovens than we do: it needs to fit a turkey and since it needs to roast for 4 or 5 hours it occupies the oven too long…
Ingrid!
“Miracle on 34th Street”!
Yes, THAT parade!
Have a great time!
