St Patrick's day
This morning after dropping the kids of at school, me and Staffan took the 8.27 train to the city. This time we didn’t got stuck thank God!
When we got to Penn station, we took the subway down to the first stop in Brooklyn and walked the Brooklyn Bridge. The weather was beyond great! After taking a hell lot of pictures at the bridge, we walked into Chinatown, little Italy and Soho. We made a stop on Broadway to go into "Hollister" where we found a shirt and a jacket to Staffan. In this store only (stupid) models were working. It took us almost half an hour to pay and it was 4 people behind the counter to serve and the line wasn’t that long at all, they we’re folding, daydreaming and just looked totally high on happy mushrooms and pink elephants.
Luckily we got out in time and started walking uptown on Broadway, at Union square we went in different directions because I had to get back to Penn and take the 1.37pm train home (since I had to work). I told him to walk up Broadway and go to Rockefeller and go up on the roof to see the view over central park, empire state building and, well the whole city generally.
I got on the train and went back and we had decided that he was supposed to take the train back at 4.17pm. 5 pm I went to pick him up in Westfield, but do you think there was a Swedish dude standing and waiting for me there?- NO, not at all!

Since he only had his Swedish phone and I tried to call him once before and failed, It made me kind of worried. But 20 minutes later I got a call from an unknown number and knew it was him. I picked him up ten minutes later and he told be about all drunk Irish (and wannabe Irish) people he saw earlier while passing the St Patricks parade on his way back to Penn.
Tomorrow we have plans to go to a park on Mountainside (if we can find it). The girls are coming too and if the weather forecast doesn’t lie, it’s going to be as nice weather as it was today, which would be a temperature around 20 C (70 F). Tomorrow night there’s a school-play at Annie’s High school I want to go see. Annie already saw it and said it was good, but long. Actually it would just be fun to go to the High school and see what it looks like.

Friday will be the last day in America for Staffan, so I will make sure he feels like he have done everything he had in mind doing over here. I’m going to drop him of at Newark airport around 8pm and his plane departs around 10.30pm. He will be back in Sweden Saturday afternoon and Sunday he’s going on skiing vacation so hopefully he’s back in time*.
Saturday we are hopefully going spend in the city, I can see myself laying in the grass in central park and just enjoy the sun the whole day. Hopefully there’s some plans for the night too in the city.
A Hollister commercial?
