- getting up early like, no problem (it’s already 11am at home)
- load omny card with the wrong package
- run card through reader twice, because why not?
- Arrive at Union Square
- surprisingly no wifi at station
- go out again
- send Em pic of location I’m waiting (read before arriving)
- send Em pic of myself (didn’t read before arrival)
- wait for Em and sweat by just standing in the shadow (fckn humidity)
- successfully meeting with Em
- not so successful ticket-buying on her side, pay for her instead
- dragging her out of the subway one station early
- try to keep up with 1 very fast Grama
- find brekkers place (Bonjour Crepes & Wine) but they’re closed yet
- wait for Gates
- place not open even after Gates arrives after opening time
- turns out they have problems with the stove and won’t open up for quite a while
- Gates says there’s another place nearby, so we move there
- turns out this is a chain and they were meaning an actually same cafe
- had wondered why we go so far when there’s food all over everywhere in Manhattan
- the mortifying ordeal of choosing only one dish
- can’t go wrong with 3-cheese-omlette and huge smoothie
- hand out chocolate
- water doesn’t taste the badly of pool, still glad for smoothie
- food is really good, fried potatoes are a surprise
- next stop: coffee for Em
- next stop: Central Park (guess who didn’t get lost this time 😁)
- meandering around until we hit the zoo
- getting tickets, Em gets mine to get even
- zoo is kinda small but hey
- likely cause of death: petting extremely fluffy bear ears
- can’t find the snow leopards 😔
- tropics zone – in this weather? 😬
- E, E! Do you really think going into the tropical house is a good idea in this weather?
- Too late, she’s already inside
- dissolving into goo in 3.. 2.. 1.. splootch
- rarely did I want to leave a place so urgently
- not even bat can keep me in this place
- outside feels cool afterwards, not sure that’s worth it *sweats like an undignified pig*
- split up because Em wants to look for Balto statue, Gates hat a foot and I desire to be cool
Ok Em being a short speedy grama racing into the zoo is entirely unsurprising.
I am officially envious of y’all after reading this post (who am I kidding I already was)
It is, isn’t it. 😂
It would have been fun with you.
Next time. 🥺
