Dear Blog,

It was one of those ho-hum kind of days, not really fantastic, not really horrible. I met Mom and Dad this afternoon for lunch after their trip to Ellis Island. My mom went on and on about how interesting it was and how moved she was by the immigrants plight. I guess if you go, you need to take the audio tour. Interesting fact - Did you know that if you were a single woman that came to this country unaccompanied with family or friends, you could not leave Ellis Island unless you were claimed or escorted off the premises by a man. Another interesting tid bit - Each country had an "immigration quota' per country so if you arrived to NYC, after your country's quota was filled, they shipped you back. They also shipped you back if you were crazy, or apparently a single female. Well, anyway, enough about Ellis Island - I will definitely have to go one of these days. For dinner, we went to my favorite Mexican restaurant in the city called "Rosa Mexicano". It has the best food, service, and this glass wall with a waterfall and little divers - hard to explain, so you really need to see for yourself. I'm especially tired tonight - too much sangria. Tomorrow it's off to some museums, maybe a little shopping. Well blog, I might not be able to chat tomorrow, but don't be sad. If you need something to read, go to dport7.com or phrogger.com/swirlogirl/ - there's good stuff there.

Night!
xoxo
