Arrived exhausted and cramped from the bus ride. The bus stop was at Times Square. Even at 4am it was hot, humid and smelly. It didn’t matter though. It’s still new york and the size and immensity of the city still takes me aback every time. We crashed into bed right away. He apologized for his messy place.. all 4 of his work out equipment that was on the floor. Whatever. We slept in, had some juice.. took showers and listened to music. Out the door we went to the subway and took the 4 line downtown to Beaker Street stop. This was Soho.. I’ve been here many a time before. We walked the side streets to Prince street and he did some serious shopping. Hand in hand.. we walked all over the area. We popped into Warby Parker and argued about glass frames and sunglasses. I really wanted the red ones.. but I hadn’t tried them until after he had purchased them for himself. And we can’t have the same glasses.. that would be .. sillly. ;) So I left empty handed. We made our way over to Hecho in Dumbo for Mechalado Clamato Rojo, queso champanones and carnitas. AMAZING. We sat at the bar per usual and proceeded to eat our food and enjoy the company of each other. After that it was more shopping.. shoes this time and we headed to Aldo. We both did damage there. Three for me two for him. We walked through a super quaint area and stopped for espresso and coco over ice at a cafe. Perfection. At that time the sun was setting and most of the shops were closed because it was Sunday. We headed back to the house and changed into workout clothes. I hopped on his bike and we did 8 miles through Central park. It was delightful. We stopped at the lake and listened to the crickets frogs and the quiet of the city on a late Sunday night. The lights of the buildings reflected across the water. Perfect. Back at the house it was stretching/yoga foam roller and tea. I was sitting on the yoga mat, music was playing and he came and sat across from me. We sat there looking at each other for a few minutes. Not saying anything.. not needing to. and yet in that silence so much was said.
