The Seinfeld Cafe

Ben LOVES the TV show Seinfeld and we watch it in the evenings together, when we are home. It takes place in New York and has many “New York-ish” jokes, that we are both starting to pick up more, now that we are living here. In the show they always eat at a diner- which we found today- so we took a picture. We didn’t end up eating at the diner, but we ate a couple blocks away at a FANTASTIC pizza place- probably one of the best we’ve had so far, and the pieces were bigger then usual…it was so good. We were both stuffed from only one piece of pizza each!! YUM!

Columbia University

We went up to the North West side of Manhattan today to check out Columbia University. It was beautiful- we were both very impressed by the architecture of all the buildings. We agreed that it would be VERY different from going to school at BYU-Idaho. Across the street from Columbia is a huge cathedral that is getting renovated. Today was the renovation open house- so we went in to look around. It was beautiful and very interesting for us to see and read about the different Orthodox Catholic traditions and religious aspects- we learnt a lot that we didn’t know.

Flushing II Ward- Primary Halloween Party

Brea is in the Primary and today they had their Halloween Party. Brea was in charge of all the games and activities. The youth (1 young woman and leaders) decorated for us and then we had; pumpkin face drawing, cupcake decorating, bobbing for apples, fishing, eating donuts from a string, and trick-or-treating from room to room. There are only about 12 kids in our primary (and not all came) so it was a pretty small ordeal, but we had a lot of adults and the missionaries all came- so it was a good and fun turn out.
(Brea dressed up as a witch, but Ben wouldn’t dress up- the bum!)
