The Spanish Invasion - Day 3



After all the walking we have been doing we decided to take Day 3 easy. Rafa was at work in the morning, so I cooked up a lovely American-style breakfast.


These are Tessa Kiros' Sauteed Potatoes with Egg from Apples for Jam. Sooooo yummy! The potatoes are first boiled and then sauteed in garlic and oil and sage. Mmmmmmm. This was loved by all!

After a bit of lounging around, all of us headed back into the city.

This time we would make Uptown our playground. We went to the fantastic and huge shops on
57th street and 5th avenue -- Lorena's favorite was The Disney Store. She's a confessed Winnie-the-Pooh-holic! As you could see, I got some honeybear action as well!

For some reason, Rafa just wouldn't quit 'monkeying' around... he just wouldn't let go of his monkey.

Rafa, why can't you do it? Why can't you set your monkey free??

We stopped quickly at Rockerfeller Center....

passing an awesome chocolate shop on the way!

Then, we grabbed some takeout, made-to-order, burritos and tacos at Chipotle and headed to picnic at Central Park.

We found a nice shady spot near Wollman Rink, and enjoyed our burritos and tacos with some fun music from below.

The food was yummy and just what we needed as we were all pretty starved at that point...
sitting on the blanket and just enjoying each other's company was all we needed to end the day.

(Damn you, Isaac, I wanted people to think these pictures aren't staged!!!)

After all that food and laying around, I needed to let out a big yawn!! Ah, on to Day 4!
