This week my daughter and her friend Becky have been with me. They did a lot of tourist things and I did some with them. We saw Guys and Dolls with Lauren Graham. They got pictures and autographs of several of the cast including Lauren Graham.

The thing that really impressed me was how great the lighting was. We had great seats dead center on the 12th row. We could see the sweat running down their faces. Lauren Graham, of Gilmore Girls fame, has a great voice. I never knew that.

We also took the Circle Line Semi Circle Tour of the Hudson River. We saw the Statue of Liberty from the water, the U.N., The World trade Center site, the Battery, and of course all the bridges. It was a 2 hour tour, and the day was beautiful.

Afterwards, we celebrated Becky's birthday with dinner at Trattoria Trecolori . The food was wonderful, but we didn't get reservations and we had to sit at the bar. Still it was fabulous food and we enjoyed it.
