DAY 1 - UP and Down Broadway...


I dunno how I did it.  But, after spending a whole day wandering up and down Broadway, surviving 2 super soaking showers with my itsy bitsy umbrella...I managed to catch pictures of the streets...at EXACTLY the same places? strange.  You'll see DRY images and SOAKED images.  It's funny watching ppl scramble at the first few drops of rain. like musical chairs.

And at the moment it starts to rain, the umbrella vendors (UMBELLA! UMBELLA!) magically appear at just about every street corner, taking over the ice cold water vendors (ice watah! ice watah!)

So, after an afternoon of strolling in and out of stores, in and out of rain...I finally mosey-ed my way back to Brooklyn.  One step out of the Clark St. station...I see a GYRO truck.  YUM! Ok, almost dinner time...I'm gonna get one.  While I'm waiting...I feel a drop of rain, then a couple...then ALL OF SUDDEN, the sky cracks and POAW!! 

My little umbrella doesn't save me from getting soaked...  One hand holding the useless thing, the other holding the piping hot Chicken Gyro...I decide I'll just enjoy it and stroll back to my friend's apt.  Shoes, socks, jeans, shirt...completely just drenched.  Somehow, that was self-satisfying.  Nothing makes the day more complete.  =  )

After peeling off all the wetness, showering and drying...I sit down, enjoy my gyro and access the damage on my poor credit card.  =  P

wooo...looks like I did a killing, huh? but I didn't break the bank, I really didn't.  It's about smart shopping.  =  )  Anyone will tell you that I LOVE bargains!! 

Anyways, that's the end of DAY 1.  We'll see about tomorrow.
