Cinco de Mayo

Cookies definitely make life much better :)

Have decided that probably Wayne (boss) is not involved as flight seems to have originated somewhere he was not. Shall follow story, though.

College fair (as one may have guessed) was not so productive, and so was finally glad to get to Cousine Lindsey and begin afternoon toodle :)

Paid ridonkulous fare to get 15 miles to Pearl River (see Bear to R enjoying the sunshine) and Linds came and collected me. Then my navigational skills were not up to par (with the added fact that I was supposed to be reading the directions in reverse order), so we got lost repeatedly. But we had sushi at Mike's Sushi on the sidewalk and were looked at with disdain by the waitresses because we giggled a lot. There was a man in a muscle shirt and white sweat pants with two extremely tiny dogs. There was a pervy guy sitting at the table behind Lindsey who openly stared at every female who walked by. Much amusement.

Linds's apartment is sooooo cute and absolutely massive! Hardwood floors and really well-renovated. Such a cute town and safe and quiet. We walked down Tarrytown's Main Street (E says it is the most common street name in the US) and then we walked down S. Broadway. There are interesting market shops; a cute shop called Whimsies, with expensive and clever gifts; a chocolate shop; a wool/yarn shop; a homemade ice cream shop; and loads of people walking their dogs. I was licked in the face by a sweet Doberman.

The bear got to visit Sleepy Hollow (where the Headless Horseman is from). This is about as old as history gets in the US -- so no laughing, my British friends)
