Ok, today's pics come in one big collage ... I am tired and a bit lazy ...

So, after sleeping in and strawberries for Ritsu for breakfast, we set out to mainly do japanese supermarket shopping ... But we started with a long walk all the way from east 44th to McDougal/Bleeker. According to yahoo maps that was 3 miles ... On the way we passed the empire state building and the flatiron building, many shops, washington square park. Since it was already after 2PM, we wanted lunch, and that happened at the best Doener Kebab place in New York: Yatagan. A small hole in the wall place, but for 5$ you are getting a great, authentic Doener. Highly recommended !!!

We then kept walking back east to Sunrise Market, the japanese supermarket. A fun fun place .. tons of stuff that keeps me wondering what it is (most of the labels I can't read) and we stocked up on some bare neccesities to bring back to Fiji.




Hands full of bags we returned home by the way of public transportation (Bus) and Ritsu took a nap. When she got up it was getting close to dinner time and we decided to visit our favourite vietnamese place Saigon Grill. A basic, crowded, highly unfanncy restaurant with fantastic food ... We used to order out from them a lot. We settled with crispy fried spring rolls, my all time favourite green papaya salad, some BBQed pork and Bun Xao noodles with chicken ... the best part is, the stuff tastes even better when you bring the leftovers back home and eat them next day .. thus I ordered a second papaya salad to add to our doggy bag.

We started heading home, kept turning our heads to check if a bus was coming .. but in 30 minutes we walked down 15 blocks and finally decided to take a cab.
