Walkabout

The title is in rememberence of LOST, we have found out that we will not be able to stream video from Hulu or any major network and thus will not see the ending of Lost or 24 till we get back in 4 months so you better watch the spoilers around us!

We wanted to see how far we walked today and yesterday so we mapped it out. I figured why not just post the maps so you can get an idea of what we've seen in the area. Megan's making fun of me for posting this.

Yesterday Morning, 7:45 AM - This area is most of the restaurants, pubs, and other things to see.

Yesterday Morning, 9:45 AM - 2 bakeries, a butcher, and the grocery are over here

Yesterday Evening, we sat by the river for about 15 minutes, it was beautiful

Today - we had a hard time finding a place to eat because we're out of Euro's (I'd expected to see a place to get more Euros here outside of the airport, in paris it was 1/3 of the cost to get Euros outside of the airport) and almost nowhere accepted credit card. Good thing we brought a lot of cash....

I know most of you probably don't care about these routes, but we walked 9.2 miles and it's great to have posted this for our own memories. We'll be able to look back to more than just pictures.

  1. First of all, I'm amazed that Ben remembers the routes we took, especially since I am basically lost the whole time...and second, I think he left out a lot of the park-walking we did because we went all over that park.

  2. Sounds like a full day. Still waiting to see pics of the apartment. Are you all unpacked?

  3. the maps are awesome! it looks like your apartment is in the heart of the city - perfect for everything around you. hope you have fun at the park - looks like a great place to meet some locals (and have some ping-pong show downs). hope you get some $$ soon, because in the meantime, someone else is buying your cinnamon roll.

  4. I think the maps are a great idea! Scott has all our NYC restaurants and places we've been to mapped out as well, so obviously we think it's cool! Looks like the perfect spot to live.
