north american good times

After departing the sunny Caribbean for one of the worlds greatest metropoli I was soon enjoying the land of plenty that is New York food and drink. A lunch at a bizzare restaurant with Sharon and Dave, booze followed at another (slightly more scary) bar, with the lovely odour of urinal cakes and sawdust, where peanut shells accumulate at the base of the bar stool.

Other eating highlights occured during the viewing of the debarcle that was the world cup final. I have never had more fun watching the covers being tended to for over three hours. It may have had something to do with the consumption of much "breakfast beer". Over time body became very relaxed and Matt hosted a wonderful example of grilling Jersey style. I was particularly impressed with Tree's cheese and bacon filled burger patties, (my lord, no wonder I have put on 5kgs since leaving home, time to get back to hockey training).

Later in the NYC time Brigette and I hit the epic theatre and saw a super show from
"indierockers" modest mouse. I never knew they played shows with two drummers. Tre-cool.



A great way to end a fun few days in NYC. Big thanks to Matt, Brigette and Steve for putting me up, champions ever-y-one-of-em.
