Oh dear,
its all gone a bit tits up
My travelling companion has been hospitalized here in NYC. I have just spent all day in the ER of New York University Downtown Hospital. The poor chap has an inflamed pancreas. I don't know what is happening! So I am all alone in New York.
But in all this drama, my faith in human kindness has been restored. Firstly, I went to get some food from a small pizza place, I ordered a slice and as the server was heating it, we got into a very pleasant pigeon English/Spanish conversation. In the two minutes it took to heat the pizza, the server fell head over heals in love with me and gave me a very large (yet sneaky) shot of tequila from a bottle he kept under his counter! It was so sweet, I however managed to resist his amourous advances and legged it with my pizza.
Secondly, after my second round of trips to the ER to visit my friend, I finally made it back to the hotel and propped myself against the bar and before I knew it I was talking to two fellow lone hotel residents. Both of them hated Bush, woo. One of them worked for a translation company, this company was the rival for a company I used to work for as a sound engineer. It is a small world after all.
Anyway I am off to bed, uncertain about what is going on. But with all my fingers and toes crossed I will be back in the UK on Monday morning. I can't wait to get home.
Love and kisses
