New York City and the second start of my (and Josh’s) Gypsie life.
In October of last year, when I came back to DC, Josh and I met (again!). We spent two months together in Buenos Aires, and during that time realized it would be much more fun to be gypsies together! So, here we are! The Le Tango around the World Blog is not only mine anymore, but Josh’s as well, we’ll be relating our adventures traveling, seeing friends, dancing and teaching tango …
So, here we go: after the Marathon, we spent a few days in NYC. It was Josh’s first trip north of Baltimore! We were both exited about the trip. At the beginning the idea was to go to NYC with the teachers of the Marathon. Well, it did not work out that well, as all of them got into their groove and went ahead with their plans. So, we worked it out for ourselves and decided to go to Providence for Jaimes’ weekend of classes.
On the way to Providence, we stopped in NYC to drop-off a friend of ours at Columbia U. So, it was Josh’s first encounter with NYC…. The “ohhh” and the “ahhh”s and the “New York New York” blasting on the Ipod when we entered the city, made it quite for me as well!! To complete this first impression of NYC, we had a great Burger at Tom’s… the dinner where Seinfeld was shot at! What else could we ask for!
Providence turned out to be quite nice as well. It felt good to be out of the city for a while… and Providence is quite out of the way! Eheheh… It was quite amazing to see many of the same people who were at the Marathon!! We are just way to obsessed… So we danced, took some classes and went back to NYC. We were staying at some friend’s house in Nyak, just outside of NYC. I would not have gone to that small town if it hadn’t been for this house, and it would have been a shame. It’s a very nice place, right on the water, and just about 30 min outside of NYC. So, we went and visited the city: Central Park, Strawberry field, 5th avenue, the Rockefeller Center and of course Time Square. We were ready to go on top of the Empire State Building to have THE View of the city… but the wait was about 1 hour and we had tickets to see “the Perfect Crime” a show off-Broadway.
