Unexpected treat

One of the great things about my French classes is that they are downtown. Getting there takes me about 20 minutes door-to-door on foot, but there is enough time for me to come home to my apartment for lunch time. This is such a treat! I’m used to buying lunches at work, so it’s really a novelty for me to be able to eat my own food at home. I also really like seeing my apartment during the day (I’m used to missing most daylight hours there!). A bonus is that it seems there is a musician living directly above my unit. During lunchtime, I get to hear a practice guitar session, which I really like. Not something I hear where I’m there at night!
Labour Day in NYC

I went to visit Shelley in New York! Really neat to see where she lives. Awesome location, so close to central spots I’ve heard of. We were able to walk just about everywhere. I went shopping on Broadway, and talked Shelley into seeing a show in Times Square. We also met up with one or two people that I knew from university, which was fun. Shelley showed me the area where her office is and we went shopping in SoHo 
Nice break away from French classes.
