Yesterday, we met our friend Brian and went ice skating in Bryant Park - so fun! So painful! =) Bryant Park has a ton of cute little holiday shops set up right now so we walked around and checked out all of the booths. We went ice skating for about an hour - there were so many people there! The ice skating is free but the skate rental is not. If you had your own skates, it would be a sweet deal! We had a great time even though our feet hated us. Unfortunately, some people aren't so smart when they skate - for instance, people with small children - why are you in the middle of the rink? You are at a complete stand still which is crazy dangerous for everyone else. One of the skate guards told us they lose 25 fingers a year! But I digress. Then we decided to pig out on fair food - kettle corn, caramel corn, funnel cake, apple cider. We also bought some awesome hand warmers to get us through the winter. They are so cool - you just flex a disc inside them and they activate. Then you can boil them in water and reuse them at least 100 times! We got purple ones (the best color) and I think they are going to be so handy. And feet-y. Ok, wow, that was bad.
That night we went to meet our friend Tiff from highschool and her husband, Miguel. They took us to a neat Ethiopian place (which you know is a stretch for me) and I actually enjoyed parts of it. Of course, I had pigged out earlier on fair food in anticipation of maybe not being able to eat much. But I really did like some of it! It was great to hang out with them and catch up - I hope we'll get to see them again. We talked about checking out some live music around the city.
LESSON OF THE DAY: Small children, dumb people, and those with no inherent balance should not ice skate.
