01Oct: Soho Calling as is Olive Garden!!!

Drive to New York with Raj & Rohan, is scenic, unlike the highway bus route. The leave’s have started to change to their colours, and I can envision how gorgeous this place must look with all the vibrant colours of Fall!!

Meet Racheal at the Bus terminal. The girl has lost oodles of weight (a lot more than necessary) , but looks good!! We are meeting after 5 yrs or more, and as usual there are loads of news to be exchanged. We have coffee at her favourite place, walk around Soho, & eventually meet Vishal at a place called Felix (where Vish eats the best sandwich ever!!).

This is the first time I have walked around Soho & love it…. Have to do this again. Its time to say good bye’s after an interesting day of seeing the sights that Soho has to offer, the architecture, the café’s, the shop’s, the people, the energy & we 3 making sure, that no news is left behind!!!

Bus drive to Reading, where Kashi Uncle is waiting to take me directly to Olive Garden, where Mom & Niru Aunty are celebrating Mom’s birthday.

Surprise ….. that’s what my getting here late evening is all about …. Mom has no clue that I am getting back this time of the night…. & thanks to Aunty, we managed the surprise… although … Kashi Uncle nearly blew it!!!

The look on her Mom’s face is worth it!! A fabulous meal of pasta,pizza, salad, n fresh bread dipped in herb walla olive oil & we take off for a cuppa coffee at Sheraton. Deva …. What a dampener it was, totally dead … so we walked out asap types!!! From there we went to check a place called Hooters!!

Now, that is a place where one has to visit! The food is good, is the place to watch American football, where the girls are dressed in the shortest shorts & the girls are perfect Host, as they make sure your food is served & then give you company while you eat …. Boys … this is one place, you should not give a miss!!;-)

Late evening & we are back home, all smiles. Happy Birthday Girl, tres happy!!!

Grrrrrrr…. Have seen the black squirrels, but still haven’t managed to take a single picture of them!!! uffffff 

IF ONLY …. I had more time, wpuld have made sure I went visiting Paul Simon , who lives in New Canan!!!
