We went into New York City on the weekend to see the sights of Christmas in the Big Apple. We went to see Rockefeller Center's big, beautiful tree and skating rink. It was sooo crowded. And the line-up to go skating was insane! So, we just squeezed through to take a few quick pics and then moved on. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera (although I took plenty of pictures on my cell phone).
Another cool place we saw was Bryant Park. They had a huge outdoor festive market, a skating rink in the middle AND a temporary restaurant called 'Celsius'. This restaurant was described as being a "Canadian Lounge". It was a pretty cool-looking restaurant, which is a huge feat: to look cool in the middle of Manhattan! Made me proud to be Canadian. What was on the menu, you ask? Well, Canadian Cheese Fondue, British Columbia salmon, and much more (but I've forgotten).
We also walked through Little Italy (had a slice of pizza there) and China Town. Found out that China Town is THE place for cheap deals. Wish I could buy all my Christmas gifts there! We also walked over the Brooklyn Bridge, which was recommended to us. It was pretty cool. It took us about 15mins, stopping three times to ask for directions and doing a full circle before we figured out how to get ON to the bridge. But hey, if you ever want to walk over the bridge, we can show you the way. Oh, we also saw the Courthouse, you know, the one that is always in Law and Order. We were so excited for some reason. It doesn't take much I guess.

Hey you two! It's been years since I've talked with you!! I found your blog from a link from Kristy! You sound like you've had an amazing adventure for the last three years! Congratulations Jason on being a Dr.!! What an accomplishment! It's great to hear you're in New York...you're not far from Shaun and Marla. We went to visit them last Feb. and hope to go back sometime...now we know you guys are there:) Ken and I have been in Edmonton for 21/2 years (you probably know) Ken's in his third year of Dentistry, and I'm working as a Paramedic in Wetaskiwin. It's been great and we've learned how to enjoy Edmonton and all it has to offer:)
Send us an email sometime at aktaves@hotmail.com I'll keep checking your blog! We're in Vernon before Christmas and then I work Christmas, so we won't be down there at all. If you come up to Edmonton again please let me know!
Good to hear about your lives! Amber
Who wouldn't be excited .... it's LAW & ORDER!!!!
