"Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?"
So today we had a nice calm day. Didn't do too much, and we're back at the hostel early. I don't even mind b/c as far as I see it, I'm on vacation and I'm relaxing. I wouldn't be able to do that at home! We're watching Sister Act 2 on TV right now, lol!

So today we went down to Greenwich Village and did some more shopping. We went to this place called Forbidden Planet where they have lots of manga and comics and a place called the Strand which is a bookstore that has 18 miles of books. Wow! They had this little artist/vendor booth fair thing going on in Union Square so we looked at that too. I bought an Obama button (yes!), and I went for it and bought a hash pipe. It's not as pretty as the ones in that store the other day, but it was cheaper and I bought it from an artist who makes them himself in New Jersey. He was really cool, and I was happy to support his craft.

Then we went to East Village to look for this one restaurant, which doesn't exist anymore. But I got some nice pictures. It seems like the only time we've ever had subway problems is when we were going to or coming from East Village. Rar! Eventually we got back to Greenwich Village where we ate at a cute little vegan place called Sacred Chow. Then we went to Murray's Cheese shop! Yay! We got some cheese, bread, chocolate, and sparkling juice to take back to the hostel.

So now we're here just chilling. I'm glad b/c we need to rest today. Tomorrow we're visiting three museums and going out drinking. And then Saturday we're probably going to have to check out early and lug our bags around for hours before our bus leaves at 11PM, and who knows what that will be like. It seems like it's almost over, even though we have two days left. Oh well; I've had a great time and at least I haven't been at work!
