This month flew by in a jiffy! I was busy enjoying the beautiful weather and entertaining a stream of guests. U’s cousin was in town for almost three weeks. She came in the last week of March and was here till mid April. She stayed with her son but we would meet almost everyday after her work. We both enjoyed and loved the long walks in the evening. Later in the month, U’s nephew was in town and my cousin & his family visited us from India. With them I did the regular tourist stuff, mostly shopping and little bit of sightseeing. I did not have much time to blog, not even my food blog! However, I was motivated to update my photo blog by some of the fellow bloggers, who are posting a picture a day on their blogs. Since past 20 days, I am also posting at least a picture a day.
This month started off with a warm welcome by the cherry blossoms. I was in Central Park that was filled with spring blossoms and the park was picturesque. After the cold weather we had had this year, little bit of the warm weather was enough to bring the New Yorkers out to the park.
Check out some of the pictures here and here.
About 10 days ago, I took my cousin’s family to Empire state building and we were lucky to watch an army ceremony in progress. Some of the officers were promoted and the ceremony took place on the observatory deck of the Empire State Building. I have a few pictures here.
I also watched couple of broadway shows, one is Phantom of the Opera and the other is Mamma Mia. Both the shows are great and worth watching. Mamma Mia, the show is lot better than the movie. I did not watch the full movie; watched bits and parts on a transatlantic flight which made go back to sleep. The movie was very boring.
When U’s cousin was here we went to couple of restaurants for the first time, Serendipity and Spice. It was a busy month and I will end this recap with a picture at Rockefeller Center in first week of April. I was surprise to see the icing rink and the skaters even in April. The rink must be closed now though.
