New York City!

Our flight to Santiago was uneventful. From Santiago to Buenos Aires we had seats in first class, even though we paid for economy. It was the first time I had flown in first class. It was nice but it highlighted how awful our seats were for the flight from Buenos Aires to New York. We had two seats on the port side, window and aisle, which is great but... They were next to the bathroom on a A330, and there was a constant line of folks using it, all through the night, and it did not smell good either. But we survived.

Today was a great day in New York City. We walked through Central Park and spent hours in the American Museum of Natural History including a great Pterosaur exhibit. The fact that one of the pterosaurs had a wingspan as big as an F-16, pretty amazing. Makes you feel glad you did not live during that time, imagine one of them landing on your roof. It was a great exhibit and well worth the time. We also went through the Central and South American anthropology areas. It was fun seeing photos and artifacts from places we have visited.

Last night we ate at a great Italian restaurant and this evening we went out for Thai food. It is fun to eat some of the cuisines we have been missing in South America.

Not sure what we will do tomorrow...
