last update of the year..

So today is my sister's last day here - tomorrow we leave for NYC. Still haven't decided what we will do for new year's eve - we're stuck between a walking tour on the Brooklyn Bridge or the times square dropping of the ball. We are definitely watching a musical and going to at least one museum. We are hoping to explore Greenwich village and be overwhelmed by Manhattan - since it is our first time there.

Yesterday was another interesting day. We started off with getting on to the wrong bus, getting off it, running around looking for the right one and in the meantime having a heated argument about our personal differences. It's amazing how we need a break in the regular routine for something important to happen. So we finally get on to the right bus, with greater knowledge about each other. We go on to shop, shop and shop some more.

In the evening we saw a musical called "I love you, you're perfect, now change." It was good fun. It was my first time in a dinner theatre sort of a place where we sit at tables and have drinks and eat cake while we watch the play. Another surprise was my interest in the wine. I enjoyed the wine at the theatre! Seems like I am beginning to develop a taste for it. The wine-maker of the vineyard we visited day before had such an infectious enthusiasm for wine and it seems like I caught it too!

After the theatre, we went to this really cozy and beautifully done place called the Starry Night cafe. The food was good and so was the wine :)

We have some more shopping planned for today and then we might watch a film or something.
See you in NYC..
