The past nine days have been pretty eventful for me. Last weekend my ‘special friend’ came up to visit for two days. We spent the weekend walking around different parts of the city and trying out various restaurants and bars. On Monday I went to a spa where I had my first manicure and pedicure in years! Prices here are pretty cheap compared to other places I have lived so I need to take more advantage of that over the summer. My spa treatment also included a chair massage and I finally came to the realization that quickie massages don’t work well for me. I’m too tense because I’m anticipating some type of sudden, painful, rough hand movement. I can do okay when I’m in a private room on a table, but not so good when I’m in an open area in a chair.
Thursday evening was pretty eventful for me. I met up with my friend from high school, Shannon. We hadn’t seen each other in nine years. Shannon lived down the street from me the second time I lived in New Jersey. We were both in band and hung out during Senior year. I was in the car during her first car accident, as was her mom, and true to the statistic this accident occurred within a mile of our homes. I met some of her friends from Paris (she lived there for a few years studying music) so now my set of New York friends has grown a little. We met up on Sunday to see a movie then went to dinner in Korea Town with the Paris Crew.
On Saturday I explored my neighborhood, Brooklyn Heights, a little bit more. I found a few cute boutique clothing stores and came across a bunch of restaurants and cafés. I also realized that there are a few movie theaters by me and made a trip over to the famous promenade. The promenade has a great view of Manhattan and from a distance you can see the Statue of Liberty. That was my first view of the statue since I arrived in New York which is kind of surprising considering how much I’ve gone around and explored the city.
