Give em the old razzle dazzle...razzle dazzle em...

well...have we been ticking the sights off the list today or what!! lets see....statue of liberty? tick. times square? tick. wall street (complete with sobbing bankers...)? tick. the ENTIRE borough of Brooklyn? tick. new york style pizza slice? tick. Little italy and china town? tick tick. Hit broadway musical? tick. (10 points for guessing which one...clue is in the title...)...and all that jazz...a busy and successful day.

tell you what...when it comes to fitting it all into a day in nyc...the barths sure do razzle dazzle em!

a point about wall street. though i did take some poetic license with the whole sobbing bankers thing...the state of the financial markets in this country and, of course therefore, the world are anything anyone can talk about in this town. the financial district was chockers with sattelite dishes and reporters - the mood in the city is somber. matt and i have been commenting that new york doesnt have the buzz we were expecting. for the city that never sleeps there seems to be a whole lot of sleeping going on and we're surprised that, to us, many european cities feel more vibrant...and london has a whole lot more buzz and pizazz...but i wonder whether to put it down to the state of affairs in this country and the grip of anxiety that has, understandably, grabbed many in manhattan. the big apple could sure do with some of the old razzle dazzle at the moment.

well, enough of the deep analysis...tomorrow brings sex - and lots of it....sex and the city that is...the tour....!! matt cant wait!! ;-)

razzle dazzle em!

Hey Barth's, sounds like you're having a great time. I can't belive how much you're fitting into one day.
I'm not supprised Matt hasn't posted anything yet, he's probly doing the sensible thing with his spare time and sleeping. that or you forgot him at the airport.

Matt...i feel for ou having to endure that tour. But at least there's a free drink at some point to help you forget all about it.

Keep having fun and pack away as much of that yummy american food for me.
