A Nice Relaxing Day
Today was essentially our day off. We went to the mall, which surprisingly is the third largest mall in the US or the world or something. It has 4 floors and includes several restaurants and even a Target. Anyhow, it was a very productive trip. We got a much needed good pair of walking shoes. We're going to mail my old shoes home with Mike's lighting equipment so we don't have to cart it around with us throughout our vacation. We also bought a nice, heavy coat for the Winter and a nice light sweater for times where I need a light jacket and don't want to look so frumpy. The heavy jacket I'll mail home, but the light sweater I'll keep with me. I also got some socks so I can replace all my old socks that are worn at the heels. And finally, we got a watch because the latch on mine is loose, so it's constantly falling off. Definitely a very productive day. :) Not to mention that this week is No Tax Week on clothes and shoes for the entire state of New York! (Which explains why we kept seeing signs like these in Manhattan).
Other than that, I've been spending most of the day just reading, which has been very nice. I'm devouring Talisman by Stephen King. It's such a great book! I also read my friend Erik's latest short story. He's truly a gifted writer and story teller.
