Halfway weekend... :(

We were very sad this weekend when we realised that it was our half way point in our time out here, we never ever want to leave and desperately want to make the most of the second half of our trip and compete our bucket list. On Friday night (after getting our friday afternoon frozen ice-cream) we headed over to williamsburg for Mexican and drinks. La Esquina was recommended to us by a colleague as we wanted to try out fish tacos at a new venue and we also sampled chilli tequila and pineapple shots which were delicious. We sat next to a scrap heap of televisions in the garden with a blazing fire looping which was very cool but attracted an influx of mosquitos which apparently thought mine and Lauren's legs were very juicy. Next time- wear insect repellent!

I spent Saturday having a cool, relaxing gallery day starting at the Neue Gallery uptown to see works by Klimt and Egon Schiele. This gallery was very quaint and apart from seeing the beautiful golden Adele Bloch-Bauer I was quite keen to move on and get lost at the Met. I spent a lot of time at the Africa exhibit and also really loved all the Degas ballet sculptures for their imperfections and exaggerated poses. At every turn you see another famous piece, many of which I studied during college and never thought I would see in real life- Jackson Pollock, Rothko, Barbara Hepworth, Yves Tanguy, Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Lichenstein...........................................

We also decided it was about time we went to the "movies" and eat popcorn just because....We went to see Savages with Blake Lively, I'm not sure if it is out in the UK yet but just a heads up for reference I would say don't bother! Unless you want to learn how to look glamous and emotionless when kidnapped by the Cartel as Lively does then it might be worth a miss.
