"and the world keeps spinning 'round, my world's upside down, and i wouldn't change a thing"--lifehouse

once again, super long day, but i'm getting to see more of the city, so i guess that's good..

my mom woke me up around 830 and i met them at the hotel and we set off for the day, we got them all set with their subway passes and then headed down to chinatown, where we explored and then ate some dim sum! yum (except i didn't eat enough...oh well), and then we went shopping for a long time, in and out of shops and i'm finally buying stuff!! yesss! my mom's friend bought me a burberry watch in pink! it was too cute and only $8! (haha, yay for knockoffs!) and pretty much everyone got a bag/purse today..even thad (i called it his man purse, but it is a camera bag..riiight ;) j/k)

finally we walked over to SoHo, and wlaked forever around there and i finally got my pink burberry purse! i saw it in chinatown for $25 and i was like eh...and in SoHo it was $20, or so she said and when i opened it, there was another purse in there or bag or somethin gand i said "this too?" and she said, "yes, $25" and i was like YOU JUST SAID 20!! and she was like, "ok"..haha, so my mom got that and a purse for her and they were both $20 and basically we each got 2 purses...so we got 4 purses for $40! awesome! also she bought me this great big pink purse too, i might let her have it though b/c i have these pink purses, but anyways...we went down to ground zero after that and that was of coures moving, as usual..then went to this little cafe to recharge and so i could get some sugar...low blood sugar=cranky rena

then walked around teh financial district and it turned out tehre was a columbus day street fair (love how new york always has SOMETIHNG going on)...and so we walked around there, i am going to get a scarf soon, it is SOOOO coold! brrrrrrr...i'll have to dress warmer, just not ready for the cold i guess. kind of just snuck up on me...after that, we walked down to battery park and were pretty much attacked by the louis vuitton people...geez...they won't stop! anyways, i finally got a good glimpse of the statue of liberty, which looks way smaller than it does in movies...isn't that how it always is? hehe, anyways...we decided we shoudl go eat, so we subbed it back to grand central and looked for this indian place by the lamb's, but it turned out to be way expensive, so we came back here and finally just decided to go to the pizza place next door...it's ok! b/c i love their food, then we went to get dessert, at this cafe by connally's and thad, diane and rose all wanted a beer, and conveneitly they had both dessert AND beer, so we just chilled out there, and then came back here to grab their stuff and then they left...i am sooo sooo tired!!! i have never walked this far in my life...in such a short time, but it's ok...i need it...so, now i'm just hanging out...probably get ready for bed soon.

peace out
