More adventures in the city that never sleepsMay 17
I fell asleep just after posting last night, and had a few really strange dreams - maybe it was the pasta/chocolate combination.
This morning I got up as early as I could, and set out to explore more of the city. I’d heard of Central Park, and decided it was a good place to start. I met a beautiful dog named Babette who was black and white like me, except she had a bit of brown on her nose.
She gave me directions to Bethesda fountain, which was the starting line for the first Amazing Race. Surely Rachel would visit the fountain when she arrived in NY!
I waited and waited, but Rachel didn’t arrive. I tried calling for help, but they didn’t seem to understand how important it was for me to find my Rachel. :-(
They said something about prank calls and sent some officers to investigate, which was pretty scary! I decided that they wouldn’t understand either, so I hid from them!
I waited by the fountain as long as I could, but the TARflies had told me they were planning a big TARflies lunch and I knew I had to be there! They were meeting way down in Little Italy and I knew I couldn’t get there on time, so I hopped on the back of a delivery truck that was heading south.
It was another scary ride, but he was heading the right direction and stopped only a few blocks from the restaurant. I ran the last few blocks, and arrived a few minutes early. I had been told that we weren’t allowed to enter the restaurant until 1pm *or else* (or else what? I don’t know!), so I’m hiding in a potted plant and writing this post. I haven’t seen Rachel arrive yet, but maybe she’s caught in traffic.
Gotta run - door’s opening!
