Visiting The City

Joanie and Tu had their first and second visitors, Bria and Meghan, who joined them for the weekend. Joanie &Tu took Bia to visited there new apartment complex this weekend. Bria won a Emmy for her acting job as a prospective tenant so we could take another tour of the grounds. They loved Bria so much they actually were trying to convince her to stay in Florida and not move to New York (darn we won't get that referral..lol). While at the complex they stumbled across a surprise...the East River...it's literally in their back yard.  

This weekend was a scorcher. Joanie thought she was back in Texas. Being the smart Florida girls that we are we figured a nice leisurely walk along the water would at least give off a cool breeze. We found out that that rule doesn't  apply in the Big Apple. Apparently, there is no breeze to be found but the view was smooosh (Kiss sound) benneissimo. with the heat looming we walked and walked from Midtown to lower East Village to East Harlem to West Harlem then down Central Park back to Midtown. Five hours later and many eloquent words from Bria we decided to eat. Bria now gets why we are always eating. The restaurant of choice for the weekend was Cafeteria. When they say restaurant of choice they are referring to the fact they ate there three times. Let's just say a discovery of the Berry Mojito it is a little drink from the angels.

Let's just say Bria is glad she took the advice to bring walking shoes. Joanie and Tu were surprised to see a Bria in a pair of Reebok and not in a fashionable pair of Shape-Ups (not everyone can be as high on the cool scale).  To quote Bria on a few occasions "are you guys serious, you said we were just going across the street and that was two hours ago and we are still walking". The poor thing was beat by the time she left Joanie and Tu. Meghan on the other hand arrived on Saturday and had to take the walking adventures in flip flops...oops guess they  forgot to tell her they like the heel toe express.
