i made it! despite spraining my ankle 24hrs b4 i was due to leave my house, a quick trip to casualty, a pair of crutches, many tears and a few packs of frozen peas later... i am at Tara's house in Bethpage, Long Island chilling out instead of doing a crazy tourist dash around NYC. suits me just fine. there is a pool, i am being pampered... nuff said.

1st impressions of los Estados Unidos are that
1. it really is the land of the large. to be fair, haven't seen many fatties but the cars are HUGE, the food is all obese size....
2. well haven't got out much yet due to a blueberry coloured fat foot.
