We went to New York city the past weekend. We experienced a lot of unexpected. But we made it.
It was cloudy on Friday, the day we set off. It was not till the minute we stepped out of our condo did it start to rain. We were caught in very heavy rain and almost missed our train to NYC. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. But we made it right before the train started.
We chose, by accident, the hottest weekend to be in NYC. We walked really slowly. Nonetheless, we were so sweaty that it felt like just finishing a 10k road race. We spent a lot of time at the Museum of Natural History and walking around Greenwich Village. We had dinner at a sushi place which serves raw shrimp and different kind of seaweed. One of them made our stomach feel funny the next day. We spent most of Sunday walking in the sun since it was cooler than the day before and there was shower Sunday afternoon.
Because of the shower, there was a power outage somewhere east of NYC. Our train was delayed and it took us an hour to get out of New York since the train could only go 20 mile per hour. By the time we got home, it was after midnight. It was nice to see the kitties. Obviously, Simon was a little bit mad since we left them by themselves for the whole weekend.
We had a good time in NYC in spite of all the issues with weather. I attached a couple of pictures below.

Aren't they cute? Don't worry, they are not Susie and Simon's babies. When we were walking in a park in Greenwich Village, a woman was trying to find homes for these kittens. They are only three weeks old.
