Day 1428: Roosevelt Island

Another day packed full of activities!  Subway to 59th St., toured three displays at the Museum of Art and Design, crummy lunch in a small Thai restaurant, Tramway to Roosevelt Island, hiking through the Four Freedoms Park, subway to Brooklyn and dinner at a fabulous Japanese restaurant.  And back again to the upper west side.

Justin and Kaoru hosted dinner at an exclusive Japanese sushi restaurant.   She was very excited to share her culture and language.  The first few rounds were delicious.  Okra, eggplant, a veggie pancake, beers and saki, then shrimp and veggie tempura and soba.  So much food!  Then they added a huge platter of sushi and sashimi.   April has a bad sore throat, Evan was sick to his stomach, Steve doesn't like it and I'm allergic.  Kaoru was crushed to see more than half of the delicacies left.  We felt terrible, but what could we do?   Plus, the bill was huge.  We pitched in to pay and the waitress split up the leftovers in three parts.

Tomorrow is our last day.  We're going to Colin and April's to finish up their leftovers and say goodbye.  They are leaving for LA on Monday and we won't see them at Christmas.  It could be many months till we are together again.
