Montreal, New Years, BA

It has been a hectic few days between Christmas and now, having travelled to Canada, back to New York and now, Argentina!

Montreal was quite an experience for both of us, I can personally say I have never been that cold before... -31 degrees with the windchill. Even though it was so cold and hard to get out and explore, we still managed to see Montreal (and a couple movies...) and I would definitely go back in Summer to check it out again.

New Years in Times Square was one of those things you have to do, we got there late and decided to watch from afar rather than be squashed to death for a slightly better view. To get a good spot you have to stand your ground early in the a.m and not move. It was a good night and its true no one celebrates bringing in the new year like NYers! We stayed in Queens and it's amazing how each borough is completely different. I, Mel, had the best fried rice of my life. Go to Ping's Dim Sum if you're ever there.

We have now arrived in Buenos Aires, and so far it looks like its going to be a fun few weeks, the weather is a nice change, and Palermo where our apartment is, is very trendy and busy.

We send our love to everyone back home, and are thinking of you all the time.

Christmas Day

It was tough being away from everyone this Christmas, but we tried to make the most of it, and I believe we did!

We started off by heading to the NBA season opener at Madison Square Garden, New York Knicks Vs. Boston Celtics. The Knicks took it out 106-104 in what was a great game and one that I will remember for a long time!

We then headed to dinner at Brasserie where I had possibly the best lamb I've ever had, Mel's roast duck was a winner also.

Yesterday we arrived in Montreal after a 10 hour train ride, and we are now about to check out what this city has to offer, check back soon for updates.

Guggenheim, Statue Of Liberty, Coney Island and the Brooklyn Bridge

So we are off to Montreal on the 26th, then back here in New York on the 31st for New Years, and I think we are both satisfied that we have seen a lot of what New York has to offer.

We have seen some great things these last couple of days, the Statue Of Liberty and Ellis Island are definitely some of them, did you know that the statue is made of copper and is only as thick as a 20 cent coin? There's a fact for you!!! And the Statue was originally brown, and when copper oxidizes over time it turns green? There's another!! And the lady's fingernail is the length of your forearm? one more!

We got a taste of Summer down in Coney Island when we walked a long the beach, got in touch with our artistic side at the Guggenheim museum and walked on some history over the Brooklyn bridge.

Today we are going to see Wicked on Broadway and enjoy a New York Christmas Eve in Times Square, and tomorrow is the big day, Christmas and an NBA game at Madison Square Garden followed by a big Christmas dinner at Brasserie, and hopefully some snow!

We are thinking of everyone back home and would love to be there at this time of the year, we miss you all!

Love from Dan and Mel xoxoxo

Merry Christmas!!!
