Boston & NY City

Hi all,

We are now in Las Vegas, after being in Boston and NY City.

Boston was the first place that was really cold, we freeze our butts off. It is so cold there that they have an ice sculptures exhibition out on the street. Other than that it is a very beautiful city, we ate well and saw the Blue Man Group show (haven’t changed since 1996). The drive to NY was much nicer comparing to the drive to Boston cause it was a sunny day and without snowstorms. We did one tactical mistake when we put me behind the wheel and Gali on the navigation program (we ended up at Queens instead of Manhattan) but once we fixed that (made a switch) things turn out OK.

Manhattan is always great, we did some (very little) shopping, went to see ground zero (those American sure are working slow), we were at our second NBA game (Nicks Vs Miami) and had dinner at Bubba Gump (a very famous Shrimp house). Central park is very pretty in the winter.

That’s it for now, check our blog next week to see how much we took Vegas for

Toronto & Niagara falls

Hi guys,

Today we arrived to Boston, our first stop in the USA. But let’s start from the beginning:

The flight to Toronto lasted 12 hours which I spend waiting to see when Gali is going to lose it!!!! She didn’t. She was very brave throughout the whole flight.

We took a taxi to the hotel and went straight to bed. The next day we took a decision to spend another night in Toronto. This decision turned out as a great one since the weather was great (sunny with temperatures above zero). We spent the day touring the city and Gali did some ice skating in the harbor. During our tour we went into the Air Canada arena (the home of the Toronto Raptors NBA team) to ask if there is a game in the evening. The cashier was an old lady that to my opinion could not tell the different between hockey to basketball, she told us that the Raptors are playing versus the Orlando Magic tonight, we bought tickets. When the evening came and we went to the game we realized that the dumb women was wrong and that the game is versus Cleveland. So, I got to make one of my dream come true (be in a NBA game) and got to see Anthony Parker trying to guard Lebron James (Gali thinks that some of you might not know who is Lebron James, if that’s true you are forbidden to read our blog!).

The next morning (which was very snowy) we rented a SUV and drove to the Niagara falls. I was a bit disappointed with the falls, I guess I was expecting something bigger. A cool thing though, was that they were partially frozen. We crossed the border to the American side and began our 7 hours drive to Boston

We’ll write some more next week,
