Hot Summer Day in New York

3rd and the practical final day in New York is about over. It has been a very effective trip to my pleasure. Today's itinerary included a souvenir shopping in Manhattan, going to the Yankees' game and eating crabs on the City Island.

Shopping for somebody else is... not really fun. Call me uncompassionate, but I don't know why people expect souvenirs when people go on trips... I hate feeling like I'm obligated, but I got it done.

Then we were off to the Yankee Stadium.



It was a hell of a hot summer day to watch a baseball game. Today, New York and Baltimore were playing. It was a crazy game with many homeruns, walks, deadballs, lead changes, etc. Tee accidentally got us the "alcohol free" seats so we weren't able to drink our beers at all (he was thinking "Free Alcohol, not alcohol free...). We were able to survive the heat and actually enjoy the game. In the end, Yankees won 13 to 8.







After the game, we were pretty tired, but we headed for the City Island for dinner. We made a gross miscalculations in amount of food we would be able to eat in one sitting. But I thoroughly enjoyed what they had to offer.





We headed back to Tee's house pretty satisfied. The sun was setting and I took this picture of the City from the car:



It was a pleasant drive fitting of finale to my travel.

Tomorrow, I have to get to the airport by 5AM. Hopefully, everything will go as well it has with everything else.
