Sunday!

Today we had a very nice day! We woke up a little later than usual and enjoyed a nice breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien, which is just around the corner from the ABT studios, and very close to our apartment. We had a very good meal--complete of course with bread and some unusual, but delicious jams! A particular favorite was chocolate hazelnut, but they also had yummy strawberry and apricots jams! After we returned back to the apartment, Bruce, Melissa, and Muffin left to go back to Virginia!




After they left, Amanda and I decided to go exploring and soon found ourselves near Washington Square Park and NYU. We took some pictures and posted them here--we hope that you enjoy them! We also found another Pinkberry near NYU and felt it was our duty to stop and ensure that quality control was being maintained in this Pinkberry chain as well! We thought you might like to see what an original yogurt with raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries looks like. YUMMY! We wish you were all here to go to Pinkberry with us!



Since we were exhausted from all our walking and it was getting hot, we decided to take the subway home. We got off at our usual spot on 23rd Street, but soon found that we were in the middle of the Gay Pride Parade and couldn't make it to the other side of 5th Avenue to get back to our apartment. After a lot of walking and trying to find somewhere to cross, we finally were able to cross at a little break in the parade. We were very happy to get home and relax, especially since one of us will be doing a lot of dancing tomorrow!



The rest of the day we took it easy! Amanda went out on our deck and listened to her Ipod for a while, and later after we ate dinner, decided to soak her feet while we watched "The Turning Point." During the week, on the days when Amanda has less pointe, she is on pointe for 2 1/2 hours and the days when she has more pointe is on pointe for 4 1/2 hours. So, her poor feet need to be pampered a little on the weekends!


We hope that you are all well and that you have a wonderful week!
Take care,
Beth and Amanda
