Well we did a lot. We didn’t do it all, but we did a lot. We woke up early most days and didn’t get enough sleep most nights. This led to a lot of extremeness. I’m not sure how to write this post, so [when all else fails] I’ll make a list.

• Best thing we did that we paid for: Rent on Broadway. It was really super good and makes me wish I could sing.
• Favorite picture: The one you see to the right. I took it from Liberty Island, of the lower Manhattan skyline.
• Biggest regret: Not going to the Seinfeld restaurant (62 block walk). Miles and I should have just gotten a taxi and gone. But our only opportunity was when we were super tired and everyone else was going to rest at the hotel. So we decided to rest instead.
• Best thing we did that we didn’t pay for: Walking around Times Square at night.
• Fastest sight-seeing: Horse and carriage ride through Central Park.
• Favorite thing I did at Mass: Lit a candle for the first time. Well, I’ve lit a candle before. But not in a Cathedral or anything. Lit a candle for the first time…
• Craziest New Yorker: The guy we kept seeing everywhere in lower Manhattan who was listening to N*Sync or Backstreet Boys. He’d look at Cari and then tone-deafly sing/scream-whisper a word or two from the song.
• Phrase that was most over-used: “Forget about it!”
