We are having a very busy weekend. Some friends from Trinidad are visiting. I picked them up on Friday morning at JFK. We went to my mom's for a night so the contractor could finish up. Then Saturday it was off to the city to the Museum of Natural History and for Sentayehu's (and everyone other than myself in the party) first Ethiopian restaurant experience. I am pleased to say that everyone loved it - even the skeptical. S was wiped out at the end of the day.
Today we slept late and then went to Flushing Meadow Park to see the Queens Museum. There is a really nice panoramic model of the 5 boroughs there. My friends were very interested. I had been there quite a few times, but enjoyed myself. There is a also a display of Tiffany lamps and other various displays including those from the World Fair which was held there in 1939/40. My grandma (now 99 years old) always talks about going there when she was young. In the park there was a Colombian Day Independance celebration which added to the fun. Tomorrow my friends head out to Ohio and will return for a few days before heading back to Trinidad. Sentayehu is loving the extra attenion and back seat buddies. Normally she just has to sit alone back there.
