New York, New York

We landed in Newark this morning safe and sound (thanks, AirTran), and then made our way to the hotel before completely conquering the city by early evening. That might be a slight exaggeration, but Wendy moves at such a pace that it felt like we covered all of Manhattan in a half a day! By the way, among the millions of things I love about NYC is the fact that you can just say, "the city," and no one asks, "Which city do you mean?" There really isn't another, is there? We enjoyed a delightful Italian dinner some sidewalk cafe in Soho or Greenwich Village or some such hip place.

Tomorrow morning (while Andrew and Benjamin run a few miles) Wendy and I will visit the great Riverside Church, Union Theological Seminary, and St. John the Divine be fore heading down to "ground zero." The day holds a lot of promise. Then again, most of them do.
