my weekend

my weekend was very nice! on saturday i went to connecticut with the family to a naming of davids niece. so we took the car and first picked up ilene's mother. with her we visited ilene's father in the nursing hospital. toby seemed to worry a lot about him - just like last time. but before we left he gave him a very big hug and they thought about their time they spent together some time ago. it was such a lovely moment that i could naerly start to cry... after that we went to the synagogue where the ceremony was. they had a lot of children there - especially toddlers. it was very nice and fast... before we left we had some bagels and (salty?) chocolate cake. we had our real dinner at a nice irish restaurant, together with ilene's mother. i ordered a good chicken pie :) i really enjoyed the whole day.

on sunday i worked from 9:00 am till 1:00 pm. afterwards i went to visit my first museum in nyc: the transit museum, a museum about the new yorker subway. it has only a short exhibition but i liked it. maybe it would be very interesting for my dad ;)

an article about the constructions at the nyc subway (look at the last part...)

in the evening i met ilka (a german au pair from the upper east side) and we went up 34th street through times square. we had great pizza at "sbarro" and were at the "hard rock cafe".
