ending with a bang

​Thursday, December 31, 2015

We took the subway each day to get where we needed to go, but today we walked up to the train that drove past our apartment each day. It turned out to be a comparatively luxurious ride with big tall seats and all above ground.

We found the Flatiron building and Washington Park.

We had delicious New York hot dogs from the vendors and spent New Year's Eve day in Times Square and enjoyed an evening together, although we could not get back into Times Square. Linda and Emily finagled a way into 57th Street to see the ball drop. Melanie, Amy, and dad celebrated the new year on 49th Street.

While we were walking by the temple, the sister missionaries we in front with Book of Mormons displayed on a table. We greeted them and asked if we could take a book to our taxi driver the following morning. Of course, they said yes and provided a copy for us to give to the driver.

Called Alfonzo about a ride to airport on Friday morning. He responded by text.
