Today when we went out for breakfast, we went to a diner. It had old posters advertising chocolate flavoured milkshake for 10c and banana splits for 25. My dad says that that's what America was like, years ago. Everyone went to diners and that's what they all looked like only the chair covers would normally be red and white; the diner we were in had blue and white covers. I ordered strawberry and banana waffles with maple syrup. In Boston, my aunt made everyone palm sized waffles but I got a waffle the size of a medium plate with strawberries and bananas on top! I drizzled it with the syrup but I didn't finish it because my dad said that because America's portions are bigger than ours, we should leave a bit behind. After breakfast, we went to Macy's. I bought a dress there on sale for $15. After that we went to look at other shops. I didn't get anything there, and then we went to an art museum called MoMa (Museum of Modern Art). My sister and I, and my mum were supposed to be shopping while my dad went to it but they changed plans, much to our annoyance. but the museum wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. Across the road was a shop called MoMA designs so we went in. It was all furniture and decorations and purses and bags based on the art in the museum. I liked the bags, but they were expensive, like one was $125, another $450! I found these cool purses/pencil cases. One was a circle shaped purse with a photo of a cookie on both sides. Another was a pencil case with a photo of a wrap on it. There also was a pizza slice that I bought to use as a pencil case next year. It was $8. Expensive, I know, but I thought that it was cool. After that we took the subway back to the hotel and here we are. Tonight we are going to Mamma Mia! at 8, so we are getting ready for that. Bye!

Hi Lucy,
ReplyDeleteLooks as though you're having an awesome time there! I'm enjoying your blog no end. I figured you'd like NYC with all the stores. It's among my favourite places on earth. I even love it in winter when the snow is a metre high :0)
Can't wait to hear about your Californian adventures. I've never been there but hear it's amazing.
Ellie and Sinéad are doing great at the writing. We miss you of course and look forward to seeing you next Saturday, when you can regale us with an account of your US road trip.
Can you come at 2.45? Reason being, it was my birthday yesterday and I had to end the session a half hour early. So next week it'll run to 5.15 if that's OK with you....
Enjoy the rest of your vacation!
