Ahh wow! This was crazy cool! We spent the morning on a ferry going to Ellis Island and around Liberty Island. Since 9-11 they don't allow tourists in the top of the statue so we didn't stop on the island. It was cool though
We spent the afternoon in Manhattan. It was really cool. First we went to China Town where my roomies got some stuff off the black market. Tom was funny, he didn't realize that was what was happening (after we had been led down an alley and he opened up an overhead door of knock off purses.) The watch guy was talking to the two of us about being a spotter and the consequences. Tom just wasn't getting it. I loved it ;) We went to Ground Zero after that. They are building a monument there so it is all fenced off. Not much to see past a construction fence. From there we tried to go to Central Park. Our Subway didn't stop at all the stops indicated on the map--so we ended up in Harlem. We could have gotten back on the subway but I wanted to walk around. So we did. We walked up through Harlem and into the nothern part of the park. We lost Tom on the Subway after that. He got off for some reason--he looked so sad as the door shut in his face. Of course he was the only one without a cell phone. We spent a little time in Times Square and I bought a few more things from the street vendors and then......we went to Wicked!
That was an incredible experience! I really had no idea what to expect. It was sooooo powerful! There are so many different morals of the story and the set was...oh, some really great adjective. It really was breathtaking! I can understand now why people are so hooked on this play!

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JEALOUS! You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Lucky! I hope my husband is feeling SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO rich, because Wicked is coming to Salt Lake in the Spring, and I just saw the price of the tickets. Do you think he loves me that much, or should I hope Santa Claus thinks I've been REALLY good this year.
