The Spanish Invasion - Day 1

Rafa's best friend, Isaac, together with his girlfriend, Lorena, have come to visit us for the next 11 days!! Really lovely people, despite what you may think from the title above. We had a lot of fun exploring, and for me and Rafa, rediscovering New York. Here are some shots from Day 1.

After walking our Ground Zero, we walked down to South Ferry to catch a boat to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Despite the rough seas and rocking boat, I was in good spirits - it was a beautiful day!

Until it started pouring down, that is.


Isaac and Lorena enjoyed a wonderful New York delicacy - the pretzel! Mmmm.


Don't worry - we fed them a bit more than that. For dinner we had some BBQ at R.U.B. BBQ in Chelsea --- they were blown away by the portions of food!! BBQ is known for the big portions of crispy onions and fries. Delicioso!

Then we let down our hair while doing some shopping to end Day 1. Here's Rafa:


Ah, ain't that the truth!

I'm not sure which is scarier - Rafa or the Ginormous pretzel! Yikes!

LOL. Well they do make them big in New York. My vote for which is scarier is definitely Rafa -- though I won't make any comments about his pretzel. xoxo
