Day 1

I love sleeping in. (Sorry, I left my camera cable at home, so I can't show y'all anything). Love the apartment. Its that that long skinny floorplan that is just so popular here. We just got a AC unit installed in my room. Awesome. So I slept until I remembered that I was in freakin' NEW YORK and I needed to get my butt out of bed.
I got dressed. Beth made me a little map of the neighborhood so I could get to a coffee shop and grocery store. I grabbed my keys, bag and headed out the door, only to turn back around to come get my umbrella. Oh yes, it was raining. Determined to go out anyway, I power walked to the coffee/sandwich shop. I bought a $7 pannini, I love NY prices. I killed time there on the free wi-fi and waited out the rain.
Now, before I left Austin I started doing Bikram yoga (they say practice yoga, but that is silly so i'm not going to say it). And there are a few studios here in Brooklyn. Que suerte! I walked to the nearest studio, which took me to Park Slope (a pretty fair walk). I found it, thank you very much. Then I decided to walk down Flatbush. I glanced over and saw a few tents set up on 7th Ave. (sorry for all this street talk, but I'm thorough). So there was this huge artisan market all the way down 7th Ave. Best thing ever. It reminded me of First Thursday in Austin, only it was Third Sunday and not Austin. Anyway, a few highlights include the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, or something, with 5-6 yrs olds playing violins. So cute. I also heard a live band playing some salsa and people dancing in the street. I love this city! So great!
Later I met up with Beth for church. It was great. This is exactly where I'm supposed be. Class starts tomorrow! Woohoo!
